Who are those who those that can serve as OpenLexington Advisors? Suggestions?

Reuse is good, however those suggested apps are "discretionary" solutions in terms of gov. Therefore, Where to Focus? Non-discretionary action. eg Public safety. Upcoming Phase 2 of Open Data Lex is the "What, Where, When" across disparate data sets. Internal is the LFUCG Neighborhood Information Mgmt System available daily. Raw privacy-redacted Data made public. What more can we do with this gold mine of data? Trends? Viz? Geo-spatial? Socio-economic? DATA!!!

Attacking problems? Get that list of questions. Hone focus for full app between now and Dec 31.

eg LouiStat
