As discussed in the Book Design thread of Edward Tufte's Ask E.T Forum, this site is home to LaTeX classes for producing handouts and books according to the style of Edward R. Tufte and Richard Feynman.
Download the latest release, browse the source, join the mailing list, and/or submit patches. Contributors are welcome to help polish these classes!

- Some papers by Jason Catena using the handout class
