Hi Jon, did you ever finish the research into McPhee’s process? (I saw your 5 year old post, am currently travelling in Japan, limited to iPhone for cons)
I did my PhD research into authoring methods and wrote an enormously complicated tool for my thesis project. I’m now looking at writing a very minimal replacement and was inspired by the New Yorker article on McPhee. Would be interested in corresponding if you are likewise. Cheers, Murray
He didn’t want to discuss it.
