Post your ideas for CA things.

That's part of what I'm trying to accomplish with the Catagolue browser extension, sorta-- though it's woefully incomplete and primitive right now. Patches welcome, of course!

I'm going to make an "Apply Details" script for Golly, which takes a pattern and then adds things like "Discovered by XXXXX, 31 February 2020" and uses some oscar to put things like "(19,1)c/20 spaceship in a non-totalistic rule." in the comments. Not sure how to do the comments part tho, maybe I'll just copy to clipboard.
