Time will tell how these outreach articles work, and by time I mean years.
 We sell the collaborative model that makes everything accessible over time
with community editing.  If an article particular to any outreach project
reaches the cop-yedit of any contributors, that's part of the goal and
process.  I'm hesitant to solicit widespread review of these projects,
because that kind of defeats the exploration of how once an article is
written, it is created by others.  Articles on math and physics are often
times incomprehensible to the lay-person, but time and subjectivity invites
cleanup.  We're eleven years in and just beginning the experiment.
