Super 8 research
Super 8 has been the media for the homes, and have been mostly forgotten by official archives.

Time flies, and there hasn’t been a lot to report. Perhaps this is a sign that the project is getting more mature, as most of the work now goes into adding more content only, and not adding a ton of new exciting features.
