User's Guide Project: Looking Back and Looking Forward
History and Overview
2022-06-28 v1
Abstract
In 2014 Luke Wolcott created the User's Guide Project in which a group of algebraic topologists came together to write user's guides to coincide with their research papers in hopes of making their research more accessible. We examine the role of this innovative project within the greater mathematics community. We discuss the structure and history of the project, its impact on the community, and its value to the participants of the project. We end by encouraging the math community to recognize the value of the project and expand the User's Guide Project to other subfields.
