			=== Final thoughts===

			* Users will likely have other information, use this to inform experimental, data reduction and analytical constraints to work in harmony with this data, not SAXS gives size x, SANS size y and AFM size z.
			* Use our websites to link to existing resources, identify holes in knowledge and either outsource or create the material needed
			* Move away from reliance on written word/formula and embrace videos and interactive applications
			* Drop-down list to aid sample data acquisition/analysis routes

			* An enforced, first time scattering users 'safety' video to aid understanding of what scattering experiments are capable of/can provide

	~~NOTES FOR GROUP B~~		==Education, information and outreach==

			===What is lacking & what is feasible===

			* An overview, a single resource providing a 'scattering 101' where users can go from no knowledge to some degree of competency

			* Expectation handling, going from institution instruments, i.e. AFM, SEM, TEM, where results are visual and easily forthcoming to SAS

			* Sample preparation best practices

			* What's not possible!


			===Creating new instructional material===

			* No-one reads manuals!

			* Videos (YouTube, etc.) are currently the favoured visual mechanism

			* Simple phone/web apps that demonstrate/simulate simple x-ray patterns from simple scenarios, i.e. * [https://sites.google.com/site/squireslab/teaching-resources/fiber-diffraction-and-gi-saxs Miller planes and diffraction from cubic symmetry]

			* Podcasts? Presence at student / general conferences


			===Aggregating existing instructional materials===

			* There's a whole treasure trove of resources from a variety of backgrounds/specialisations, i.e. * gisaxs.org or the NIST tutorials
			* Perhaps on cansas.org we should aggregate these together
			* Anticipating user requirements, perhaps a drill-down list would hone their literature/knowledge search, i.e.
			Is your sample solid / liquid: [liquid]
			Do you anticipate spheres or cylinders: [spheres]
			What kind of size range do you anticipate for your samples: [100 nm]
			Result: After acquiring data you should be looking into shape fitting using x, y, z piece of software using a sphere model, here's a list of resources to help: ...


			===Generating scientific case studies===

			* Pulling in previous point with drill-down list generate a number of common studies, i.e. 100 nm latex spheres, from 2D data to reduced data to result (almost, if not a complete, working example)
			* Case studies incorporating multi-modal data analysis, using AFM/SEM/TEM results as inputs or constraints for fitting


			===NXcanSAS dissemination===

			* Users don't really care about the file format, as long as it works
			* Make common software work with NXcanSAS
			* If required, make software available to convert NXcanSAS to text


			===Development and maintenance of sasportal===

			* Should link to existing material
			* New material, if not created elsewhere, should be hosted here
			* Maintenance is difficult as people are reluctant to volunteer time...
