A broader appeal
The NSF program officer is keen that Wikichem should appeal to a broad range of scientists, not just "hard core" chemists:
"Based on the limited information below, it appears that this project is within the scope of STCI if you can explain how it supports multiple science domains (perhaps within chemistry or perhaps how it can be expanded more broadly as part of the project. STCI is meant to be a very broad-reaching program, and should support a broad user base. I’d recommend being sure to emphasize the wide-ranging applicability of the work and to identify current and prospective end users as these are some of the additional criteria STCI proposals are evaluated on."
This is why we have attempted to assemble an advisory group that represents a very diverse set of interests.
