Hey, Kevin, I don't know if this is within scope for the Viz cluster, but here at the GSFC DAAC, we often find ourselves debating how best to present visualizations of data.  For example, we currently have a debate going as to whether it is useful to show 3 or more y-axes in a time series, superimposing 3 (or more) measurements with different units, or are you better off just stacking them as separate plots one on top of the other?

Any thought of hosting a best practices site where experts could give us some guidance on that sort of thing?  Or an "Ask the Viz Expert" deal?
