Ways to Help

Simply getting involved with the site and using data sets is a tremendous help to us, but there is much more you can do to advance the cause of public data.

  • Help us fill out our documentation wiki. Each data source has a documentation section that's filled out with a template. When you use data from the source please take a few moments to fill out any information about the data you discover so other users can share in your expertise.
  • Suggest new data sources. We're really just getting started building a catalog of data sources. If you know of a public data source we're not listing let us know at mixmaster@dataremix.org
  • If you're a programmer join our developers group http://groups.google.com/group/dataremix and learn more about how you can help us write public data access tools.
