Following on from this afternoon's ANDS Australian Research Data Commons Content Forum (ARDCC) discussion about materials development, relative priorities and ideas for additional content...

The materials development list is a good working document for the ARDCC, indicating topics under consideration & stages of completion in each area. Although the ANDS resources page lists completed guides and invites feedback, I wonder if the broader eResearch community might also be interested in seeing & commenting on the longer list of potential targets. Others have suggested use of a service such as ideascale to invite interaction, enable expression of preference and record views about why a certain topic might be felt to be of particular value. As a first step, could the target list be made available online as a link from the ANDS resources page - simply to indicate areas currently under consideration & maybe prompt comment?

Thanks for the good suggestions, Rowan, and I'd be more than happy to put the materials development list out there for comment. We would have to investigate ideascale further before implementing it, but in the meantime, I'll post this list to this bulletin board to get the discussion started.
