Michael Carter award

The Michael Carter Award winners were Jonathan Moore and Rhys Davies.[2]

gollark: I think Roam has that too (although probably better, as they actually work on it full time and know what they're doing and made some different architectural decisions).
gollark: i.e. if you create a page about something, it will tell you all the other places where that page is mentioned.
gollark: Minoteaur™ is to incorporate semiautomated backlinking.
gollark: So some sort of concept-mapping thing with the graph as main interface?
gollark: Interesting...
