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

Hi Corinna,
I think this makes a ton of sense, just would like to be kept in the loop so that we can link from the LTER Network site to some of those specific resources. And would encourage looking for gaps in the DataONE resources<https://dataoneorg.github.io/Education/>, rather than duplicating them.
I think it's also worth considering whether there are specific LTER-centered resources that complement the "for new data managers" resources that would live on the EDI page. Clearly the LTER Data Policy and Guidelines are LTER-specific. What other resources does an LTER information manager need, that other information managers might not?
Thanks, Marty

HI all,
Thank you to those who responded positively to this suggestion. Since I heard only from very few people, I will assume that most don’t care and we should go ahead and implement this on the EDI website. Last chance to let me know otherwise.
John, is it alright to use some of the text you wrote during the meeting?
Thanks
Corinna

Hi again,
Working my way through my to-do list from the IM meeting …
EDI would be interested in hosting on our website content for two themes that have been talked about during the meeting. One section would along the lines of John Porter’s ‘brochure’ of talking points, i.e., ‘Why curate, archive and publish your data’. The other one would be ‘for new data managers’, which is not a good title, but I haven’t come up with a better one yet. To start with that would be a place to write up the discussion we had on how to engage with the scientists on your project.
We feel that both subjects go well beyond LTER IM and would be very useful to other sites and projects.
I want to put this idea out for discussion and to get your reaction to this plan. Please let me know what you think
Thanks and have a great weekend
Corinna
