Charting the Future
Increasing usage with only positive user feedback
- Strong endorsements to the unique value and need for these services
International community interest in improved access
- Host facilities for “mirror sites”
-
HOW WE PLAN OUR MOVE INTO THE FUTURE:
Our own sense of what’s importance from ongoing user interactions
- And our roles as members of this science community
Partnerships (both host sites and data provided by the community)
WHAT WE NEED TO WORK ON “NEXT” (from a LONG list):
Have to make the “format” more a “friend” of the users
Unanimous opinion from our users that they want more good data
- Unanimous opinion the users want and require fastest performance
Have to assure data (and new data) really are usefully accessible
- Have to be thinking about newest missions and science (e.g. IMAGE)
We are moving to an internationally distributed (“central”) service base
