For me this has always been a 'hot topic' but I sense a kind of 'global-warming' (global warning?) with colleagues from all corners of academia fanning the flames. Before I get carried away with the heat of my own pyrokinetic metaphors, I wonder if there is (or should be) any consensus on what we all mean by this term ...
