ha – that confused me at first: there was only one definition of ‘chuffed’ as far as I knew! (I’m sure us British were first with ours)

My prediction: to the extent that NYTimes culture shapes the outcome, the ‘product’ will be information delivered to the readers; it’s not going to leverage the readers’ expertise and interest into building something greater.

Sure I’m chuffed to have to compete with the Times (and MTV, which won a grant in 2007), even as a local partner on Document Cloud.

However, the Times Foundation doesn’t fund the Times. So yeah, ProPublica and the Times can’t go to it for money.

I’d be a lot more chuffed to have to compete with the Times for Times Foundation grant money than for Knight money.

For another thing, a significant point of the application is to make the product of ongoing Times R & D investment available beyond their fine Renzo Piano designed walls.

PS. You can see Gotham Gazette’s proposals here.

The "annoyed, displeased, disgruntled" definition, not the "delighted, pleased, satisfied" one. Okay, so I'm not British. Cut me some slack!

Chuffed as in happy?
