It is too late to edit it. If I could, I'd change it to suggest they not be more verbose than absolutely needed. Put time and effort into writing it, as they will be putting time and effort int responding to it. That time can be used to ensure the grammar is acceptable, the questions clear, and the message as concise as it can reasonably be. Given the popularity of this project, and all the media attention, I suspect they are fairly busy. Like you, though past-tense, I loved having interested people contact me for more information. I didn't even mind if they were also my business competition. Sometimes, the projects I worked on had a public face and yet was great - but it sometimes reached the point where it was eating into my limited time. I'm more than happy to share what I know, what I am doing, and how I got there. What I was doing was innovative and there was more business than we could reasonably handle. (I helped move traffic modeling to the computer age and would later expand into pedestrian traffic modeling.)
