Open Data Guide

A guide for opening common datasets. This was built at the Mozilla-Knight-MIT Hack Day, June 2013.

Live site at: http://jlord.github.io/open-data-guide/.


This site is built using Jekyll (so you'll need up to date versions of Ruby and Jekyll) and hosted on GitHub Pages. Each markdown file contains the steps for opening that type of data. Jekyll takes each of these and inserts them into a template and builds the html.

To edit the content on this site:

  1. Fork this repo (look to the top right of the page)
  2. Clone locally git clone https://github.com/jlord/open-data-guide.git
  3. Create a new branch for your changes git checkout -b my-new-branch
  4. Open in your favorite editor and make changes. Commit and push changes to your branch.
  • To run locally: jekyll serve --watch
  1. Submit a pull request with your changes!
