I would assume that our first goal is to set up a sort of functional and sustainable model for the project. This includes having a pool of reviewers, and being able to produce stories at a reasonable pace (once every 2 or 3months?)

I think there are a few possible steps after this.

1) Experiment with different formats of story telling.

We don't necessarily need to be committed to writing our stories in a textual notebook format. There are potentially alternatives - as long as they abide by our principles. I don't have any explicit suggestions here but just want to keep the door open here.

2) Connect with other data journalism groups This may for example be about formalising the data journalism interest group within Turing / beyond. It may be about connecting directly with other open source projects. It could even be working with say the ONS or GDS on some of these issues.

3) Formal funding

This would be about building a business case etc and applying for funding instead of requiring people to essentially be using their free time. I'm not sure the overall scope of this funding, but perhaps we could get some external support.

Update 2021-03-24 from my perspective, this is still valid, but clearly needs progressing. I'm remembering our conversation about linking with a publisher, or what sort of collaboration we might have if we worked with a rather close (not so close, they are neighbours) and rather large medical charity
