Very interesting project! (and congrats on joining SunlightLabs) As someone who has, on occasion, contributed to various SunlightLabs foundation projects, my only question would be: what do you need help with?
I understand completely if this project is not at a point where you’re looking for outside contribution yet, but if there’s any area you’d like help with, I’d be interested to throw at least a few weekend hours in your general direction.
