[open-government] Sneak preview of Open Data Handbook v 1

Wed Feb 22 11:15:54 UTC 2012

Hi Daniel,
Yes, will definitely do this.  Is it ok if we do it in a week or so.  I guess you are launching the Handbook now. But any updates can be included in a subsequent version.  What timeframe would you prefer - if you would prefer this right now (in a few days) I can give it priority, otherwise we will do it in a week or so.
But to confirm, yes, will definitely make the updates.
Regards
Anne

Dear Anne,

Would be great if you could draft the section. You could add your contribution to

Small corrections and suggestions for improvements can be submitted on our issue tracker: https://github.com/okfn/opendatahandbook/issues

Daniel

From our Australian perspective there are 2 areas that need further development (of course I will do this if you can give me a week or so before you go live with the Manual):
>> (1) making it clear that the CC BY and CC SA licences can be used on data;  at the moment it appears that only the CC 0 non-licence can be used on data; this is not correct and CC 0 is not used in Australia;

>> As a general note, I think it is best to indicate where you are talking about law and licensing in a jurisdiction-specific way, as some of the information in the guide as it stands does not reflect the law in all jurisdictions.

>> Also, given the already widespread use of the CC BY licence in particular, I think that perhaps some further information on it could be included.
