Gary Klimowicz has created a GitHub mirror of the US Fortran Standards Committee site, containing meeting notes and proposals that have been submitted, as far back as 1969. Thanks to @gak for creating the mirror and to @sblionel for maintaining the J3 site and serving as convenor of WG5. > **[GitHub - j3-fortran/j3-papers: Grep-friendly mirror of official INCITS/Fortran...](https://github.com/j3-fortran/j3-papers)** > > Grep-friendly mirror of official INCITS/Fortran (J3) document repository ---

A couple of minor corrections. Gary’s mirror is his own creation, though I certainly encouraged him and made it easier, but it is not an effort of the US Fortran standard committee (INCITS/Fortran, also known as J3.) Also, I am the Convenor of WG5, the international committee; Reuben Budiardja is the US committee’s chairperson. I do host and maintain [j3-fortran.org](http://j3-fortran.org) . ---

Thanks. I hope my amended message fixed the errors. ---

Steve: Please let me know if you would like me to add any clarifications or anything to fortran-lang/j3-fortran README as well. ---

Gary, I assume you mean the README of the mirror? The only part that bothered me was “Since it can be cumbersome to navigate the official site” - I don’t see that the mirror is any easier to _navigate_, since it is organized in an identical fashion, but it is probably easier to search (at least for Linux users), as the Google search I use doesn’t find everything. ---

Yes, the mirror. I shall make it so! Thanks for the comment, Steve. (I only considered it easier to navigate as there is a single folder with _all_ the papers. I’ll change the README, in any case.)
