I added some info to the readme at https://github.com/tbreloff/Unums.jl. I talk a little bit about how I'm intending to build the package, the available types, etc. There is also a stub issue for continuing the discussion of how unums fit into the world of numerical analysis: https://github.com/tbreloff/Unums.jl/issues/2. I'd love collaboration from anyone that wants to help implement some of the conversion functions and operations. I don't claim to be an authority on floating point arithmetic, so any and all comments are welcome.
Job: Any chance you can move your google doc to a wiki or something more accessible? I'm happy to include it in my package if you want.
