Oh, I thought that "ready for edit" was where submissions to the E.G.were supposed to be posted. Where should I put them in the future?

While looking through the EG, I found that the Hermes ISO (https://orionsarm.com/eg-article/4a6f9b4fd70b4) is beginning to show its age. It has a reference to ylem, for example. So, my proposed revisi...
