Why don't they publish the data in a quick and dirty no frills way, and let hackers like myself pretty it up? Data.gov has a lot of value, and I'd love to contribute some of my free time working with it.
- grantjgordon 15y agoExactly. When data.gov first launched I was really excited because somehow my mental image of what it should be was a raw dump of all the datasets they had available. What a found was something that felt very sanitized and sparse compared to what we all know the government actually has. Making all that data available in any format would spur all kinds of new ideas and businesses.
