Hi all,
Thanks for all of your input. I've gone through your comments and edits and have a much improved draft. As I mentioned, I think timeliness is more important than the exact wording at this point, so I'd like to call it good enough, and ready to submit. I'll try to get it in today, not soon enough for this weekend, but potentially for next week if they like it.

Also, I've had a few side conversations about authorship. I don't know NYT policies on authorship, but if they accept, I will work with them to find some way to indicate the group authorship, either in the by-line or as an added sentence somewhere.

Hi all,
I've put together a potential submission to the New York Times as a follow-on to our data rescue document. Mark Parsons and Ruth Duerr provided a very helpful first edit.

Given that the chances of being accepted are very slim, and largely hinge on the timeliness of the topic, at this point I'd ask that you focus any feedback on 1) factual corrections, and/or 2) key calls to action, e.g. what would we hopefully want people to do as a result of reading the article. If it is accepted, the NYT would have major input in the final column, so wordsmithing at this stage isn't necessary. For these reasons, I made the doc comment-only.

Please do send any objections, however, to the idea of doing a NYT editorial in the first place.
