[OHM] OHM for Knight News Challenge?

Tue Oct 27 19:29:01 UTC 2015

Lots of challenges to take on and more opportunities to find!

Also lets not consider the door totally closed with Knight. Their
Prototype Fund grants (USD 50,000 for 6 months work) are often folks who
didn't make the full News Challenge. And there are 6 rounds of that per
year. Far less competitive.

Onward!
