I would find that site unuseful for the same reasons I think that certain kinds of data request questions are needless clutter on the Open Data SE. | |
| Mar 25, 2015 at 3:00 | comment | added | Nicolas Raoul Mod | @JoeGermuska: Look at softwarerecs.stackexchange.com 58% of unanswered question is perfectly livable, the community over there does not consider it as a problem: it is natural that most software just does not exist yet. | |
| Mar 24, 2015 at 16:20 | comment | added | Joe Germuska | @NicolasRaoul Sometimes, yes. But I don't think that's the same as saying that all data requests are equally valuable, and I think there's a real problem with having the unanswered question queue cluttered with essentially unanswerable questions. This meta-question is a great start towards giving guidance for asking better questions. | |
| Mar 24, 2015 at 14:45 | comment | added | Nicolas Raoul Mod | @JoeGermuska: I believe that even difficult-to-fulfil data requests are interesting. Imagine that OSM does not exist, and someone asks for it: Thanks to search engines, OpenData will be the gathering point of people looking for this data, and together they might start the collaboration. Quite a few new datasets were actually created as a direct consequence of the question being posted here, and hopefully it is only the beginning :-) | |

| Mar 24, 2015 at 12:25 | comment | added | Joe Germuska | I think this is good (and now I understand more about what you're doing on the main site.) If we're going to lay it out like this, I would also wonder if there's a respectful but decisive way to ask people not to merely post "wishes" -- many of the data requests are for things which will never be open data, or which would require Wikipedia/OSM class efforts to gather. | |
