Sounds like the Right Thing. We don't currently have anything about SAIL, the language, though. You up for writing a short paragraph about it? I'm not sure we need a separate page for SAIL, the computer, though; it can probable be covered in WAITS (as MC is covered in the ITS article)? Jnc (talk) 20:36, 8 August 2023 (CEST)

Yes, I'll write something about the language. No separate page is needed for the computer, but there could be a link to the WAITS article. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 20:45, 8 August 2023 (CEST)

I looked through Special:WhatLinksHere/SAIL, and fixed a couple of obvious ones, but the two which are left, I wasn't sure they were 'SAIL the machine' or 'SAIL the lab'. Jnc (talk) 22:49, 8 August 2023 (CEST)

Mostly SAIL the lab. But... SAIL can also be taken to loosely mean WAITS. Especially before 1976, when the name WAITS was invented. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 07:39, 9 August 2023 (CEST)
