writing like mad about Astrometry.net

It's crunch time this weekend on Dustin Lang (Perimeter) and my proposal for the NASA Open-Source Tools, Frameworks, and Libraries call. I spent a lot of quality time this weekend cranking out words. After doing some literature review, we find that Astrometry.net is used in a huge number of projects, from NASA missions to cosmic-ray detectors to (of course) amateur astrophotography workflows. That's exciting, and relevant to our proposal. One of the great things about the NASA call is that it requires us to think about project management, community building, and collaboration policies. That is good; it will help our project immensely.
