> Following Adele's admission to hospital after suffering a stroke in late 1977, Gödel refused to eat in her absence; he weighed 29 kilograms (65 lb) when he died of "malnutrition and inanition caused by personality disturbance" in Princeton Hospital on January 14, 1978

There is a similar project to digitize and analyze Grothendieck's notes and letters.

There was also a project to catalog and prove all the theorems in Ramanujan's notebooks. There's a book series by Bruce C. Berndt which covers the 5 notebooks:

It would be interesting to point Fable or Argon at the notebooks and see if they can find some interesting new material in or based on this work.
