Facilitate an open data census
Tim McNamara - April 27, 2011 in community, opendata, opengovdata, opengovernmentdata
There seems to be a huge degree of momentum surrounding open data now. It's now fairly difficult to track who is doing what. Perhaps we could create something wiki-eqsue that would categorise communities by their geography and their interest.
This idea could benefit a few people:
- newspaper editors looking for someone to analyse some interesting content
- high school students who would like some guidance
- design students interested in data, but need to know who to talk to
- open data communities, such as mailing lists, because their populations would increase as people find out about them
