I think at the moment the source file (proposal.md) is a bit more informative because it has references to source code, and, more importantly, some URLs to relevant projects such as the simulator and libc-test. The PDF still has the URLs, but they are typeset the same as normal text. > Any comment would be appreciated. Feel free to send comments on MLs or GitHub. It looks nice. I have two non-essential comments: - in week 1 tasks, you point out "Implement the startup code, function prologue and epilogue"; the comment references musl's crt startup code, but I don't see what the prologue/epilogue refer to; normally the compiler emits them, unless I'm misunderstanding what you say; - I think it would be nice if you could add URLs for other risc-v software projects relevant to this work, namely the toolchain porting efforts (riscv-gnu-toolchain?), and perhaps the kernel port if there's a single URL for that (sorry I'm not familiar with RISC-V).
