SCALE 2019 Weekly season

In 2019, SCALE ran as a weekly publication—each edition built around a word of the week, a curated link river from YAML indexes, and a Friday PDF for offline reading. Historical context: restoration overview.

The 2019 weekly season was edited collectively with community input from Qi Hardware and the t.me/qihardware Telegram channel. Jon Phillips wrote recurring editor columns; Clément Renaud and other editors contributed essays, gossip, and link curation. Each week's word of the week—often a Chinese character—framed curated link rivers on hardware, software, crypto, and China, assembled from community ratings and released as Friday PDFs.
