  • MIT lectures on Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs from 1986 are available online in poor quality (240p/360p).
  • The project aims to make the lectures' code and content readable and available in digital format.
  • Consistency in notation, comments, and indentation was maintained, with improvements for readability.
  • Lecture breaks and content types (SLIDE, TERMINAL, BOARD) are marked with timestamps.
  • Comments and remarks were added to aid comprehension.
  • Files have .scm extension but contain literal transcriptions, not all compilable as code.
  • Rare code fixes were noted with ':!' or ';!'.
  • The content is clearly readable but not all text is 'textable'.
  • Goal to standardize syntax and style across transcription files.
