It looks like a good idea to me, Andrea.
What do you think would be a productive way for such "discussions" to
play out? The choices occur to me as being: email thread, wiki,
conference call, or likely some combination. Going ahead and
collecting some points of discussion to post on the wiki seems like a
reasonable start. You and Mark have already raised:
h2. Preservation Policies
# number of copies
# bit integrity check frequency
# storage hierarchy
# ...
h2. Emerging Storage Technology
# data reduction/de-duplication
# device encryption
# cloud providers
# WORM devices
# federated clusters
# ...
h2. Decision Factors
# collection size
# budget
# development resources
# ...
h2. ...

I'm interested in both the reasons behind our policies (number of copies to keep, how often to do integrity testing, requirements to include tape, etc.) and opinions/experience on some of the existing and up-and-coming features of modern storage systems (data reduction/de-duplication features, encryption, inclusion of cloud storage, WORM storage, federated clusters, etc.). I'll understand though if the group wants to take a break from storage because we have spent a lot of time on it.
