[Open-data-census] Adding Greenville SC to http://us-city.census.okfn.org

[Rebecca Williams]

Hi Michael and Wryen,

Edits require vetting (to resolve potential disputes between submissions).
I'll check up on Louisville today. We're working out a way to have cities
added, but in the interest of having credible and thorough responses we're
looking for a point person at each location, for example the original round
of cities was based on those who participated in Code Across. I hope that
provides some clarity, we'll have updates on FAQs and how to add cities
soon!

Also, FYI, there isn't currently a US county or state census. We're excited
to see more city benchmarks come in though!
