The idea behind this new format is simple: what if we returned to the older AUP format, but we put everything in a binary #XML representation? After all, an #AUP project is just an XML file with a directory containing block files, so why not merge all this data in a binary XML representation?
It turns out we can, and what better format to use than #EBML? #Matroska uses it, and since it's a container that supports audio, we can use it as a starting point for our new project format.

The impending acquisition of Amsterdam University Press by the Taylor & Francis Group reminds us that almost everything within the commodified publishing industry can be acquired. For context, AUP was privatised six years ago (see Guy Geltner's insight – https://lnkd.in/efbWXJXM), which has allowed for easier capture, but it is a stark reminder that the commercial imperative that drives the scholarly publishing industry has an insatiable, predatory appetite for growth.
A bunch of budget Chromebooks will receive updates for at least 12 years (through 2035)
