Acknowledgments

As many open source projects, Ed is the work of community. The project starts with the open web, and everything in between leading to Hugo and the wonderful team who wrangled that Go in our favor. This theme is adopted and finalized with new functionality from Jekyll Ed theme by Alex Gil. The original Ed theme stylesheets are built on top of Lanyon, a Jekyll theme based on Poole, “the Jekyll butler,” both created by Mark Otto and distributed with an MIT license. Thanks, Mark, for your helpful streamlining! Special hat tips to brother-in-markdown-arms, Chris Forster, and the generous Sylvester Keil for his work on Jekyll Scholar.

We are strongly indebted to the research work and conversations stemming out of our Columbia's Group for Experimental Methods in the Humanities—or as we like to call it: #xpmethod; the wonderful international comradery of GO::DH; and of course, the support of our Columbia University Libraries and its cozy Studio@Butler.

…and to the writers that inspire us to scribble notes on the margins we protect with our work. Thank you.
