[open-economics] Yourtopia questions

[Dirk Heine]

Dear all,

If it is difficult to load the new questions without removing the
previous data, should we then just go forward deleting that data? I
think the price of giving up the data collected so far is worth paying
if the questions can be exchanged soonish then. 

What do you think?

Best wishes,

Dirk

So integrating the new indicator.csv needs a custom importer script as far as I can see.
