The website wants me to create an account to be allowed to read more than a preview of the post titled "Note from the editor". I won't (I like my privacy, even more so while reading something) and therefore I won't able to read any further but I thought you might want to know about the demand as this may have contributed in not having more participants to your project? Saying that from the little I could gather reading the preview, obviously I may be completely wrong here.

That title tells nothing about the content. Please edit so that feed scrollers can decide whether to click or not.
