TFA includes a link to an archive of John Carmack's .plan updates, 1996–2010:

https://github.com/ESWAT/john-carmack-plan-archive/tree/mast...

(1) Looks like great reading. (2) Who compiled the archive, and how? This feels like one of those situations where a person records the evening news onto VHS for decades; except here they were running finger every day for decades? (3) Is there a more mobile-friendly way to browse it?

I imagine Carmack's plan files were monitored because people were starving for as much id Software news as they could get, and going straight to the source rather than waiting on gaming news sites for digests would be the smart thing to do.
