Yesterday, Willman, Zolotov, and I found a specific focus for our project on stellar velocities in the SDSS.
I also discussed and read a very nice new paper by Marla Geha (OCIW) et al on the gas in dwarf galaxies, to appear on arXiv soon. They find that when you add gas to stars, there is a very straightforward baryonic Tully-Fisher relation, implying that there is very little in the way of mass-dependent expulsion or stripping of baryonic material from low-mass galaxies. They also find a very strong dependence of the gas fraction distribution on small-scale environment; I think it is the strongest environment dependence known for galaxies.
