Given the above, I've sent a letter to NLNet pointing out the URLs Luke found:

https://libre-soc.org/docs/pypowersim/
https://libre-soc.org/docs/firststeps/

I did receive positive feedback from that. However, as I understood it, I was
asked to explain how Pypowersim relates to Cavatools, and how the Milestones
relates to the code. This seemed pretty much what Luke already wrote in his
report, here at https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=939#c23, so I just
took what I needed. Not to clash too much with the page contents, and to avoid
too much duplication, I choose to set up a brief Appendix, where any one
interested can find what the original goal was, reason for adopting a new goal,
and how actions were taken to bridge the gap for someone to build a
high-performance C-based simulator, eventually.

The added information can be seen at the end of:
