[LTER-im] website content

[Matt Jones]

I'll second Marty's suggestion about the DataONE resources -- those are
managed on GitHub from community contributions, and are meant to be general
purpose and useful to the broad research and data communities.  We welcome
edits and contributions of new material small and large, and have described
how to do that here: https://dataoneorg.github.io/Education/CONTRIBUTING  A
wide variety of people from the community have contributed to date.

Of course, those resources are necessarily of a general nature that are
applicable to a variety of researchers, repositories, and sites.
Site-specific and repository-specific practices might be less well-suited
there, but that could be open to discussion too.  I'll cc Amber Budden who
coordinates that work and maybe she will have further thoughts on these
types of community resources.

Matt
