[okfn-labs] Global Economic Map on Wikimedia

[Rufus Pollock]

Hi Alex (and colleagues!),

I, and I'm sure others, would definitely be interested in the project which
sounds great.

There are also obvious connections with http://data.okfn.org/ and its focus
on "key datasets" (i.e. essential indicator and reference datasets like
GDP, Inflation etc).
