What Works

• downloading
• tags
• contributors
• fields

What Doesn’t Work

• Browsing or searching
• Uploading
• Editing metadata
• Rating datasets

To improve

• in the absence of a librarian / information science professional to index things, make it so the internet community may help do so.
• fields aren’t shared across datasets yet (that is, every dataset with a ‘geolocation’ or ‘pokemon character’ field has its own private copy).
• same thing for contributors.
• tags don’t paginate
• Can’t browse by collection, format, size & shape or rating yet
• Collection tags flood out all other tags (so the 1500-dataset census collection shouts over everyone)
• Download counts aren’t live (we log, but don’t keep a live count)
• add see_also’s

In the year 2000 near future

• stopwords / stemming / lemmatization of tags
• tag clouds by quantile and not fraction of max.
