Breadfan
The original version of Breadfan with a snippet of Winston Churchill’s famous acceptance speech included (subsequently deleted for copyright reasons). There is a dearth of good articles about Budgie but this is the best one I’ve come across.

Here’s a most interesting article that reemphasizes the functional beauty of the Anglophone tradition of common law and language.
