Hi, What if we ask not only to publish as open access the resulting work but also to give back to the community all raw material? We can create a section of the wiki to support researchers with a list of all old publications and surveys. Once they got involved in OSM we can unlock all previous surveys. I mean all answers and questions. Researchers can then reuse, improve them for their personal research objectives or update the older ones but they will not ask the same basic questions again and again.
