We know from NEP that a human-selected current awareness service
is successful. It works for the selectors. They get academic name
recognition and they don't have to do a lot of work.  Most selectors have
been in their position for many years. Use of NEP reports is slowly
but steadily increasing.  Finally, NEP has raised about 2000 Euros of
sponsorship last year. Thus it is starting to become financially
sustainable.

During the six months we can run as a Knight-funded project, we have
too little time to demonstrate that bimew would be as successful as NEP.
But we can investigate how to overcome the problem of generating
the initial report issue. We can see whether we can find
more selectors in addition to our launch team. Once we have selectors, 
we can find out how the machine learning works for them.

In the very long run, NEP could turn out to be a precursor to a
"curated selective announcement" media type.
