Hi Melissa –

I really want to say THANKS for doing this analysis on the OpenScience Finalists (full disclosure, I'm with OpenAQ). It's exactly the kind of user feedback – and really a general, systematic framework of thought – that is SO valuable to groups like ours starting out, yet often very difficult to find.

If it's of interest to you or anyone reading this piece – for our specific project, we've just put together a list of FAQs (only on GitHub, not yet linked to our mainsite) that may help address some of the gaps above. For anyone reading, we'd love to hear what other Q's are missing or gaps you may feel remain.

Thanks again.
