A notable (ommited?) reason to publish is peer review. External peer review might be too costly for most items like Luke mentioned, but perhaps creating an internal peer review network between SIAI and FHI and some other people might be a useful compromise.

Yes, we do this. This is one benefit of the research associates program, for example.

Curious if you guys found anonymous reviews useful.
