a great way to describe any project is by describing the ecology it's embedded in - other projects, people, precursors and initiatives in its ecosystem.
however, this also introduces a degree of complexity - it both makes it easier to visualize the project's role in relationship with other existing initiatives, but also places the burden of (minimally) understanding the other initiatives too. so if we want depth, that's a good way to go...
so let's do it!
