[Open-data-census] Customized Questions and Scores

[Mor Rubinstein]

Brice, great point about datasets specifications, but it's not part of the
score/questions issue, mainly because those can be changed in local census
without changing the code of the census.

I did however put it as a note for us in OK for the next global index.

Best,
Mor.
