Re: repository or emergency open data

Dear W3C,

Did someone say data sources?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmVWKgWFwEyodE40Uk94bl9jZWdQTy1weEh4NVhzSWc#gid=16

I sent this out some time ago. I'm quite sure it doesn't help HXL that much
 - but out of interest... sure.

Warm Regards,

-Joseph.
