Hello all,

This weekend, several groups of volunteers around the world will gather to
undertake projects to support the hurricane recovery efforts[0]. The OKFN
community has a distinct ability to help here, in particular it has lots of
knowledge about datahub.io.

There are bound to be hundreds of disparate spreadsheets, databases and
other information sources spring up over the next few days. It would be
excellent if they could be indexed as appropriately tagged. That will
foster discovery and reuse greatly.

Would anyone be interested in helping out with this?

Tim McNamara
