“Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities, we didn't have to produce anything! You've never been out of college! You don't know what it's like out there! I've worked in the private sector. They expect results.”

Dr Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) Ghostbusters, 1984

How do you feel the context, learning & outputs of your projects should be made available to others in the community so that it can be most effectively taken up and used by other?

What more detailed kinds of knowledge & information are needed for others to both find & make effective use of your project, & thus realise its full potential?

How should this knowledge be coordinated, managed & organised?

What motivates you to share the innovations & what you have learnt in the course of your JISC project with the wider community?

How can findings & outputs be best expressed so that they are of value to the widest range of people & institutions?

Would a common reporting structure for projects enable the community to better search for & make use of findings & outputs that are relevant to their concerns?

What is the correct level for this kind of structured dissemination? At what point does ‘just enough’ formal reporting become too much?
