In the project's 'metadata.conf', we also have an option to store the
journal DOI of the project (that will later be printed in the output file
products). So now that the paper's DOI has been set by the journal, it was
time to add it in the project too.
While looking at the usage of the metadata, I noticed that the "Publication
checklist" of 'README-hacking.md' didn't talk about it. In fact, the part
about putting metadata went into a lot of detail without even mentioning
the generic 'print-general-metadata' variable (previously called
'print-copyright') that is created in 'initialize.mk'. So I removed those
extra points and just recommended using this variable for plain-text files
and putting similar info in other formats.
Some other minor changes were made:
- The metadata now doesn't need the fixed 'https://doi.org/' prefix (to
make it consistent with the arXiv identifier). Inside 'initialize.mk',
there are now two variables called 'doi-prefix-url' and
'arxiv-prefix-url' that contain the fixed prefix.
- The 'print-copyright' name was clearly outdated for all the extra
metadata that this variable created (including the copyright). So its
name was changed to 'print-general-metadata'.
The generic Maneage changes will be taken into Maneage after this (they
were tested here).

Having entered 2021, it was necessary to update the years of all the
copyright statements.

There were two small warnings that are removed with this commit:
- In the end, when we print the number of words in the PDF, we hadn't
accounted for the fact that 'paper.pdf' doesn't always exist (for
example when './project make clean' is run). So a check was added to
only print the number of words when a PDF exists.
- I noticed that the '$(texdir)/to-publish' directory was being built both
in 'initialize.mk' and in 'demo-plot.mk'. So the one in 'demo-plot.mk'
has been removed.

Some minor conflicts came up in 'initialize.mk' and 'verify.mk'. For the
former, I chose the version on Maneage, for the latter, I kept the 'master'
version on the checksums of this project, but kept the Maneage version for
the rest of the improvements there (like printing the verified files as
LaTeX comments in 'verify.tex'.
While testing the conflicts, I noticed a bug (in the LaTeX macro for the
number of years in the Menke+20 paper) in the previous build, thanks to the
verification step :-)! Fortunately it wasn't actually printed in the PDF,
so a normal reader won't recognize.
The bug was caused by the recently added meta-data/commented lines in the
'tools-per-year.txt' file: when calculating the number of years studied in
that paper, we were simply counting all the lines and we had forgot to
correct this after adding comments. As a result, the un-used LaTeX macro
file was saying that they have studied 47 years instead of the real 31
years! This element was actually used in the very first (+40 page!) draft
of the paper that was summarized to fit into the journal limits.

All the steps following the to-be-added (in 'README-hacking.md')
publication checklist prior to the final check from new clone have been
added:
- 'README.md' file has been set.
- "Reproducible supplement" was added just above the keywords, pointing to
Zenodo.
- A link to the to-be-uploaded data underlying the plot was added in the
caption of the tools-per-year plot.
- A new meta-data configuration file was added to store basic project
metadata to be used throughout the project. This will later be taken
into Maneage. For examle the project title is now stored here and
written into the paper's LaTeX source and output datasets automatically.
- Verification was activated and plot's data and LaTeX macro files are now
automatically verified.
- A complete metadata was added for the data underlying the plot.
- A generic function was added in 'initialize.mk' that will automatically
write project info and copyright in all plain-text outputs.

Following the fact that the DSJ editor decided that this paper doesn't fit
into their scope, we decided to submit it to IEEE's Computing in Science
and Engineering (CiSE). So with this commit the text was re-written to fit
into their style and word-count limitations.

The contents until two commits ago when I started to summarize the paper
are now in a new and shorter format: previously the discussion started on
page 25, but now it starts on page 17. It is still a little longer than
8000 words, but not as significantly as before. I will add the discussion
and also try to summarize it futher before submission.

With this commit a description of these two important parts have been added
to the project, along with several figures showing various parts of the
files that are discussed. I also done some other restructuring of the
figures and files to make things fit better into the the description of the
paper.
