[datacatalogs] Fwd: The Data Hub - 404 error

[Sander van der Waal]

Dear James, all,

We want to make sure that everyone can contribute safely to
datacatalogs.org and be assured that their submissions are secure.

As a first step, we have a) removed the ability to edit anonymously on
datacatalogs.org and b) reverted as many spam edits as we could find.
Please let me know if you still encountered issues with spam on
datacatalogs.org.

This is just an intermediate solution though, because as Rufus said we
are keen to improve the datacatalogs.org site, and we are working on a
re-design. I will send more information to the list about our ideas
soon, but in the meantime, feel free to post any suggested features
that you think are important but not yet available, so we can consider
these.

Kind Regards,

Sander

Yes, this is due to spambots renaming things, which I've raised
before, and which OKF has still not fixed.

Given the apparent lack of resources being put towards
datacatalogs.org, it may be inadvisable to spend time curating it if
spammers will inevitably destroy your work.

Hello,

I found an error on the datacatalogs.org portal. The Data Hub entry is
not there:
http://www.datacatalogs.org/catalog/the-data-hub

I looked it up through the search:

Kind regards,
Ivan Ermilov.
