Thu Sep 12 16:10:08 UTC 2013

Hi all,

I wanted to let people know that thanks to the (spare-time) efforts of
various Labs members including Ross
Jones<http://okfnlabs.org/members/rossjones/>,
David Miller <http://okfnlabs.org/members/david/> and myself we now have a
pretty workable Data Pipes <http://datapipes.okfnlabs.org> service up and
running.

There's more info in this announce post (plus tweet):

If you're wondering what is this Data Pipes ...

Data Pipes is an online service to do simple data transformations –
deleting rows and columns, find and replace, filtering, viewing as HTML –
and, furthermore, to connect these transformations together Unix pipes
style to make more complex transformations.

Because Data Pipes is a web service, data transformation with Data Pipes
takes place entirely online and the results and process are shareable
simply by sharing the URL.
