* Identify data sets, and ways to use them. E.g. clean teach data at http://www.reegle.info/ & http://data.reegle.info/ - we can embed their open data/data sets in MediaWiki, Explore OKFN's database of data sets.

=== Category cleanup ===
 
Cleanup & make consistent the subcategories of:
* [[:Category:Organizations]]
* [[:Category:Energy]], esp [[:Category:Wind]]. Remove [[:Category:Renewable energy]]?
 
''Please add to this list. To link a category, use a colon, like this: <nowiki>[[:Category:Wind]]</nowiki>''
 
 
Request help via blog - draft:
<blockquote>
Over a breakfast meeting with [http://www.mitra.biz/joomla/index.php/home Mitra Ardron] recently, he described how he's someone who prefers to navigate via categories, rather than search - and he'd come up with some examples on Appropedia that are very confusing.
 
Now, anyone can edit the categories in a wiki, but it's best if final changes are made by someone who's been working with the wiki and with the categories for a long time - so I'm putting out a request for help. Have a look through our categories, by:
* looking up topics you're interested in, or
* browsing the [http://www.appropedia.org/index.php?title=Special%3ACategoryTree&target=Fundamental&mode=categories&dotree=Show+tree Category Tree].
 
Find examples of confusing categories - places where categories are duplicated, badly named, or you wouldn't know which category to use on a page. Then paste the category names or links in the comments below.
 
Thanks!
