It turns out that there's some overlapping stuff in the FAIR software module too, although not a lot. Here's a potential refactoring:
(from: second half of Research Software)
(first half of Research Software, rewritten)
(Cut off the overlap at the start with Software in Science, rest as-is)
UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science
FAIR principles
Findability
Accessibility
Interoperability
Reusability
FAIR != quality
FAIR is a spectrum

After some discussion, here's the new plan:
(first half of Research Software, rewritten)
(Cut off the overlap at the start with Software in Science, rest as-is)
UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science
FAIR principles
Findability
Accessibility
Interoperability
Reusability
FAIR != quality
FAIR is a spectrum

So, this basically means that the Research (and) Software module gets rearranged, with the second half first and the first half second, and then the formerly-first-now-second-half gets rewritten a bit, and we also add a new bit in the middle. The FAIR software module has a few introductory bits cut off that overlap, to avoid duplication.
Thanks @LourensVeen this looks great. In the end it looks like we are expanding/rewriting the current modules instead of splitting things up. Let's see how we can nicely structure this and not make the modules too long. I think we should make sure not to be too wordy and watch out for elaborating too much on the various topics. I'm really looking forward to this improvement though!
The Research Software module discusses two things: what software is, and how it's used in research. Jaro likes small modules, so we should split this, and then we can add a bit about how software is developed to the first part too.
Order-wise, should we then first explain how software is used in research, and then what it is? May seem a bit weird, but how software is used really answers the question as to why it's relevant, and then dive deeper into what it is and isn't?
