Ideally, all of these efforts would fit nicely underneath the University Involvement Initiative, but the feedback we received before was to tie these efforts into the Initiative, but it felt like a driver-less car. It isn't clear to contributors about how to tie these projects into the Initiative because there isn't anyone actively leading development forward on it as of today. I think there is a lot of momentum to accomplish these tasks, but it felt like a showstopper when we tried to "upstream" the work into the Initiative since it didn't feel like there was anyone to communicate or work with.
How about: scrap the Initiative as it was and propose *this* as a new initiative?
My opinion is that it would be the same to reboot the initiative or to propose what we have now as the new one, but I think the missing ingredient is a driver to help move things forward. This would be something I am interested in, but I wouldn't have the time to devote the attention I think something like this needs until early 2018.
