Perhaps the message to you was unclear; perhaps the people behind that domain did something in the past but are also going to work on something to come in the future. Either way, I don't see anything there (right now)/(for us), but we can check back in a few months.

I am confused by the mostly empty site and lack of any additional info. Why did you say it was sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation?

Trailheads generally go in News & Rumors. I can move if given a bit more context...
