[okfn-discuss] Open Data Handbook v1.0

[Daniel Dietrich]

Dear Sridhar,

thats a very good point you make. In fact the small team that stared the handbook in book-sprint discussed intensively the question if the handbook should focus on open government data or explain open data in general. We decided to have the handbook more specific and focussed.

We could add a paragraph to the open data handbook or we could write a handbook with a more holistic view. I wonder if it would make more sense to write a handbook focussed on Open Research Data diving in deep into the issues in that area of open data (of course all handbooks should reference each other).

What do you think? Someone interested in writing the Open Research Data Handbook?
