| For example, things like mapping data (especially taxpayer-funded data!) should be free, zip code data, etc. Collecting that sort of stuff and coming up with mechanisms to share it, enhance it, use it, etc. is important. | ||

What started me off on this was that I was doing some geocaching. I went to geocaching.com & realized that if I gave them my geocache data, they wanted me to pay $3/month to be able to get it back in xml form.
Sure, I could get all the caches in gpx, but WTF? These people built the site!
