Hej! Last week Nature published a special feature on data sharing (http://www.nature.com/news/specials/datasharing/index.html). it was mostly about other areas of science, but I think the problem of how to equitably share data is present in ecology too. SO, I blogged some thoughts: <http://network.nature.com/people/boboh/blog/2009/09/14/data-sharing-some-ramblings> I'm coming at this from the perspective of someone who wants to use the data, and I'd be interested in hearing other views - particularly from people who generate data on the problems associated with free access.
All comments are welcome, preferably on my blog (just to keep the discussions in one place).
