I totaly agreed you need funding, and you are very well qualified to do
this, and it is a badly needed facility.
The problem I had is that the effort appeared to be "I am creating my
own sandbox, fund me" (particularly the FAQ), which is probably not what
you wanted to convey. I understand adjustments are being made and if
you can clarify how this is going to relate to the community in terms of
input, oversight, and management, it might be something the entire
community can get behind, and help fund.
