This is incredibly interesting, thanks for sharing. The actual applications are also available here:

Hners should browse the applications by Bird and by Scoot here. It's like night and day. The Bird pages are short and lack significant detail. Scoot on the other hand, actually has what look like questions taken directly from the application, bolded in red, and what look like responses undernearth. That is, they respond directly to the questions being asked with a good amount of detail. This is precisely what you do when applying for things, like say when applying for a grant.

For a community that waxes poetic about presenting themselves and communicating well, Scoot sets a rather good example here.
