I agree with what Monitor Lizard and Moley have written here. My own department is going through a similar process of "restructuring" (I'm sure that the OED will soon put "...see under "getting shafted"..." in its definition of this word when applied to Local Government Officers!) I'd like to provide a paper from this side of the fence as well, but I fear anonymity would have to be the order of the day - at least under current circumstances.
As for publication - I would've thought online here would do just fine if the site can handle it. I guess it's just a matter of what effort it would take to do, and whether poor Mr. Hosty wants to take all that extra work on.
If any of the stuff warrants/deserves a wider audience, there's probably enough of us to start slyly distributing things. If a less formal "publication" than the paper/journal one that ML mentions would do, but a stand-alone item is required, why not do it digitally amongst ourselves? I'm happy to knock out a run of CD's to send around if that would help - maybe a few of us could be arranged to run a batch off each, and then forward them to a central point to be checked and "branded" as a BAJR product, for proper distribution?
