Thu Nov 7 12:32:50 GMT 2013

Great Ivan, thanks for your input here. I've included it in our
general feedback
doc<https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/document/d/1K8t8--e422bzDEg2YCl3OHfwfeN4XksRuXkQY1vizUY/edit>
.
As for bulk download in JSON, I've submitted an
issue<https://github.com/okfn/opendatacensus/issues/239> to
request this from our dev team.
