[Esip-preserve] potential NYT editorial on data

[Matthew Mayernik]

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.

Matt
