[ckan-discuss] What portal users want

[Mark Wainwright]

Hi all,

I mentioned a while ago that I was in a great session at GovCamp
talking about what councils (who included many of the people present)
want in a data portal. Two of the people in that session have done
excellent write-ups of different aspects of it:

http://siwhitehouse.co.uk/blog/2012/01/31/constructing-an-open-data-platform/
http://citizensheep.com/blog/2012/02/06/a-council-might-publish-open-data-but-how-does-it-encourage-good-use-of-that-data/

I strongly recommend taking a look.

Mark
