Open data wishlists

[Michael Mulley]

I'm looking for examples of specific government datasets that are currently publically unavailable (as opposed to available but expensive) and that people would like access to. Has anyone put together a list like this? Can anyone offer suggestions towards such a list, especially on the federal level?

I know about my couple of little hobbyhorses, but it'd be great to have a list of concrete examples to refer to when trying to explain open data. (This is partially prompted by having been asked to appear at a House commitee next week.)

thanks!

Which house committee?
