I really like this idea. I'm still hoping we can get the NIC to do a talk with us and a feedback session.
This website is really an amazing opportunity. This is basically the government saying "Ok data is out there, now let's see if people will really use it." I think it is our job to make sure its purpose is fulfilled and not really leave it to their discretion. When they have more data, a mini hackathon, making sure they hear from us consistently about usability and ofcourse requesting data are definitely things this group can do. I do like the idea of mirroring, not so much a place to host the data but a place to also show its visualization and story telling potential really showing what can be done when data is available. ckan and socrata are both options. I actually think Open Governance India is a good way. They did a great job on their site.
