Open Data Commons Tasks

• Make license choice simpler
• Move website to eu0.okfn.org (DEFERRED)

Website: 2009-04

• Table of Contents (esp. for FAQs) -- prob requires plugin for WP

Human Readable Versions

Already have preambles which are pretty good.

PDDL: 'waive all rights'. You have no formal entitled to attribution or anything else. However may also apply a set of community norms. A proposed set of community norms is available here.

ODbL update tasks

See /odbl page.

FAQ page

Suggestions for additional questions:

• Why do you recommend copying the PDDL rather than just using a url ...
