Here are some active discussions around related topics:

Quality Metrics
Base Read Quality
There were a number of recent email conversations about how to work with quality metrics on Illumina/Solexa systems. It would probably work well for individual facilities or researchers to create a page in this area linked to this one and allow comments on each. As things develop, we can take material from those pages to assemble a comprehensive view.
To create a page automatically, just enclose a page tile in double-nested parentheses, like this:
Illumina Read Quality at Cornell
Illumina Read Quality at Sanger
and so forth.
Clicking on these links will then create a new page if one doesn't already exist. Authors: don't forget to use the edit tab -> settings on new pages to allow comments.
