The Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President and the White House Open Government Initiative is launching a "Public Access Policy Forum" to invite public participation in thinking through what the Federal government's policy should be with regard to public access to published federally-funded research results. To that end, OSTP will conduct an interactive, online discussion beginning Thursday, December 10. We will focus on three major areas of interest...
I would suggest that for maximum benefit, publicly funded research should be published in a format the public is already used to and values: Wikipedia style articles, "Wiki's", along with PDFs (for saving, and for scientists who are used to the journal article format).
The ability to search within a regular browser, and jump from article to article has made Wikipedia a tremendous success, and in my opinion, has helped the internet fulfill one of it's original intensions to disseminate and exchange information. The clear and universal format keeps data in a realm where users know what to expect and easily find what they are looking for. I think this would be very popular.
Well true to thier word Im downloading several gb's of lroc raw nacs now.. very awesome ty JPL UofA and NASA great job.I will stop bitching and whining now about the lac of data:D.. Lamont and I are scoping out a great spot for the first lunar junk yard ;)

I wonder if that includes the elusive LRO data which has come to a virtual stand still.
