My notes on what I liked about the post, from the announcement:
“Open questions” are a key driver of new academic research, and can be a good way for academics to approach a new field.
For this reason, I like seeing lists like Siebe’s — it’s not quite a set of open questions, but it lays out key uncertainties that could be used to produce such questions. It also provides a strong set of citations, giving the aforementioned academics a sense for where to start if they want to work on one of these areas.
