I know I'm not a new instructor, but I'd be interested in collaborating on a 10 simple rules style piece for PLoS on storing scientific data. I think it's the sort of thing that might be more beneficial as a paper of those topics listed. Is anyone else interested in collaborating? The style seems ideal for collaboration if we could break the rules up among authors.
