There are many issues that could/should/will be addressed. The main one is how to get easily from the kind of files that a math researcher would keep (some compressed version of the data that would make sense to a couple people if lucky) to something like "www.lmfdb.org". In addition, one possibility that is not visible to outsiders of the lmfdb project is "How do I query this data from my sage command-line?". It is sort of possible to do that at the moment, if you have some knowledge of the lmfdb code ( at http://code.google.com/p/lmfdb/ ), but it s only sometimes possible, not really easy or consistent yet.
If a clear, efficient and standardized path is offered that allows to do all that, it will help in many other situations (for an individual serving their own data, or retrieving data, or adding data to existing database, etc).
