9. Howto set it up successfully: understanding Understanding and communicating why this is important -- both to people on the inside and people on the outside Efforts like data.gov and data.gov.uk are still new and in a sense unproven. But they are there as an instance to discuss, to think whether they apply to the local context.

10. Howto set it up successfully: attracting Getting enough critical mass of people to do stuff with the data. Visibility and hints to users to start doing stuff Start with popular data (e.g. crime, real estate, …) but realize that interesting uses come from almost any piece of information Contestsmightworktoo!
