Hi All,

I've booted a page on data.okfn.org to provide an introduction to "CSV":

http://data.okfn.org/standards/csv

I find a lot of non-data (geek) folks don't know what CSV is, what tools
you can use for it etc, hence this doc (also important given centrality of
CSV to e.g. Simple Data Format).

Thoughts on what would be useful to include plus direct contributions are
very welcome - you can edit the page directly in prose.io
here<http://prose.io/#okfn/data.okfn.org/blob/master/templates/standards/csv.md>
.

Rufus

Regarding plans for an open version of the 1st edition of the OED, I
thought some of you might be interested in this piece from Cory Doctorow
yesterday:

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/aug/23/oxford-english-dictionary-future-digitally

What do we need to move forward with an Open OED project [1]? It would be
really cool if there were any way to break the dictionary down into entries
that people could help to proofread and correct. Any thoughts on that
front? Anyone else interested in helping?

If there were any simple tasks that people could do, Adam said he could
help publicise this to readers of the Public Domain Review.
