[Open-data-census] Mode-share in Open Data Census?

Sun Jul 21 04:43:51 BST 2013

Hey Christian

Cool, thanks for considering it. I'm taking a good look at the site and
repository now to come up with an example of how it could be included. Will
produce the report ticket in a day or two. Thoughts and suggestions more
than welcome :)

Best,

MK
