I really like the idea of more interviews from the CWG for the Signal Blog, and rotating through the content teams to provide a better sense for the range of content that we are all working with and issues we are facing.
In addition, it might be interesting to develop blog posts based on interviews with some of the stakeholders we are identifying in our case studies. This could be a good opportunity to learn from the creators of digital records about their processes of creating and maintaining digital records, or from researchers and professional organizations on their views regarding the long term value of digital records in their subject area.
There are many good directions we could go here!
