Hmmm. I've left as is after talking with Jonathan but hear you. My
concern is that CKAN is slightly harder to explain.

I would like to the problem is currently a) space b) focus (i.e. we
are pitching heavily on the community side of things).

Fixed.

Done.

Yes, sort of. I really find the metric stuff really weird since the
key ingredient of quality is missing (e.g. 15 rubbish / dysfunctional
chapters is much worse than 4 excellent ones etc etc).
