This is amazing! Thanks, Tracey! I'm going to send it to a new
policy institute in Montreal. (http://www.ipamontreal.org/) About sending links - I'm not sure that one at a time works. Depends on how much traffic people are up for.

If you'd like more links on open data (who doesn't?), VisibleGovernment will be launching a link farm site shortly at http://opendatalinks.com.
The website pulls in links tweeted on twitter tags like #opendata and #opendatalinks, and allows an editor to do some basic categorization based on topic and geography. For now, the links in our collection are also exported to delicious: References: http://delicious.com/vizgov/Reference News: http://delicious.com/vizgov/Article Projects: http://delicious.com/vizgov/Project Jennifer Bell http://visiblegovernment.ca --- On Wed, 1/6/10, Michael Lenczner <[hidden email]> wrote: > From: Michael Lenczner <[hidden email]> > Subject: Re: [CivicAccess-discuss] Open Data Information > To: "civicaccess discuss" <[hidden email]> > Received: Wednesday, January 6, 2010, 7:04 PM > This is amazing!
