2. Summary

This should be allowing you to make your paper into a publishable piece in under 1 month

2.1. Compilation process

Print your paper.
Take a 4-colour pen.
Read through, marking every issue with a red circle.
Go through the code, fixing bugs, and mark every fixed bug with a blue check-mark.
Go through the paper again, marking a problem that had been fixed previously and reappeared with green.
When your paper is not readable any more, print a new one, and transfer green circles into the new one, but using a red pen.

It should be possible to fix the paper using 4-5 prints. (~20$)
