David Roe: We have a script that extracts knowls from the LMFDB and creates the blueprint from them. Going forward, we plan to not update the blueprint directly, but instead add functionality and content to the LMFDB's knowls so that we don't have multiple places that need to be changed.

one issue that I've been having with the blueprint that maybe @Pietro Monticone or @Patrick Massot might know how to solve is, how do I get the symbol for Sha to work in a blueprint. Normally we do something like

\DeclareFontFamily{U}{wncy}{}
    \DeclareFontShape{U}{wncy}{m}{n}{<->wncyr10}{}
    \DeclareSymbolFont{mcy}{U}{wncy}{m}{n}
    \DeclareMathSymbol{\Sha}{\mathord}{mcy}{"58}

but that doesnt work for me

I also want to make clear that, if others are working on overlapping things, then we are more then happy to collaborate. We definitely are not trying to scoop or snipe anyones work. Moreover, I'm more than happy to mark things in the blueprint as claimed or WIP by others.
