The DMSSC remains concerned about the amount of time high-level
staff at the DMS have to spend answering basic user questions.
The DMS should explore options for (1) tracking user inquiries;
(2) providing a user forum where users can answer each other's
questions and find answers to common questions (cf. GMT user forum);
this might be in the form of a wiki page. The DMS should suggest
1-2 possibilities to address (1) and (2).
Responsible: Casey and Ahern
