Yeah, I think thatād be another great thing for people to do. Although Iād add that that might be especially valuable when thereās no existing non-EA lit review on the topic (e.g., when the topic is somewhat obscure, or youāre taking a particular angle on a topic that EAs are unusually interested in).
E.g., perhaps thereās already a fairly good lit review on hiring practices in general, and you could add some value by writing a more summarised or updated version. But you might also be able to capture a lot of that value just by making a link post to that review on the forum and noting/āsummarising a few key points. Meanwhile, there might be no lit review thatās focused on hiring practices for start-up-style nonprofits in particular, so writing that might be especially worthwhile (if thatās roughly the subtopic/āangle you were interested in anyway).
On the other hand, I think I wouldāve guessed that the topic āhow to create a highly impactful/ādisruptive research teamā would be quite far from obscure, and would already have a solid, up-to-date lit review covering what EA people would want to know. But this post suggests there wasnāt an existing lit review with that particular angle, and the post seemed quite interesting and useful to me. So there are probably more āgapsā than I would naively expect, and thus substantial value in lit reviews on certain topics I would naively expect are already ācoveredā.
