[open-government] Sneak preview of Open Data Handbook v 1

Wed Feb 22 11:30:37 GMT 2012

Hi Anne,

Thank you so much for offering to do this! A week or so would be just fine.
We are keen to make improvements or changes as quickly as possible, but it
does make sense to do them in batches. I should think it will be a little
while before we are ready to make the first batch of changes - so you can
take your time :)

Thanks again - the blog has just gone live and I'm about to announce the
launch on this list!

All the best,
Laura
