As per my other post, people seem to be misinterpreting what this wss about.
This was a TEST to see how we could represent different sorts of data.
Points made by Jesper below are exactly the sort of thing we planned.
As we have no direct access to any current live data we thought we would start
with a voluntary thing so we had some to play with.
The maps are fun, but in reality they are a side show. Tony was writing some
code so we could graph things as required.
Proper marketing data is exactly what we need so we can chart and plan.
Currently we have none.
That needs to change.
The debate should be about WHAT sort of data we should be collecting and HOW we
do that.
