Hi all,

Here is a really interesting article about data.gov.uk and the value
of the data it contains:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-19065913

"The government estimates four out of five people who visit its
data.gov.uk website do so without accessing any links to data."

This is of course caused by several factors, but I wonder what can be
improved on the CKAN front (UI, UX, visualizations, etc.)
(BTW I also think that just pure downloads isn't a good metric of the
impact DGU has had)


Adrià
