Interview Questions

This is a list of suggested questions to be used for interviews. They are intended as a starting point. Please feel free to add to them and to personalize each interview by asking more specific questions and seeking clarification of points that interest you (an interview can take place across several rounds of emails.) If possible, I'd like at least one picture of the person interviewed for the webpage. Thanks, and have fun!
