This is very exciting. How are you looking at facilitating these collaborations? Will there be a listing of sorts, where, say, ML researchers would say "I need a dataviz guy" and then dataviz specialists can apply, almost like a job (or rather more like matchmaking I guess--bad analogy)?
Or would said facilitation be done by the admins / editors / steering committee? If so, then how do you plan on finding dataviz people? I'm asking this in particular because I would imagine that people who have ML findings to talk about would probably contact you ("I researched such and such, and found such and such. Now I would love to publish in Distill"). But I wonder if data visualization specialists would do the same thing. Contacting with "hey, I love data viz, would love to collaborate with somebody looking for one" feels a little inappropriate to me.
Thoughts?
