Thanks to everyone who commented on Quests And Requests.

There was a predictable failure mode: lots of people said \\u201cI have relevant expertise and would be willing to help with #X\\u201d, and then those comments just sat there. Many fewer people said \\u201cI\\u2019m going to be team lead on #X and start contacting everyone else who was interested\\u201d.

In case it\\u2019s not clear: I\\u2019m not planning on \\u201cpicking\\u201d people to lead each of these projects (though if you email me at scott@slatestarcodex.com asking for help, I might give it to you). I\\u2019m just putting them out there as things people might want to self-pick for.

Another predictable failure mode: many people said they were willing to help, and people should contact them, then didn\\u2019t leave any contact details. If you\\u2019re a would-be project leader, and want to get in touch with one of the help-offerers who didn\\u2019t provide an email, you should probably try responding to their comment and seeing if they get a notification. If not, email me at scott@slatestarcodex.com, and I\\u2019ll find their email in the system, ask them if I have permission to share it with you, and share it with you if they say yes.

Here\\u2019s the current status of each project, AFAICT:
