Josiah,

On one hand

Some time ago someone presented a Question, to illustrate they had some 
example data, it was a very small set, it related to fruits, it took a bit 
of the conversation to get a json file posted and more than one person put  
it in their own wiki and provided a solution that worked against the test 
data. We were then all on the same page, the solution was tested.

It would be helpful when trying to do simple or complex things to point to 
an existing dataset of test data and build the solution, and if you have a 
problem you can share your plugin/macro and reference the dataset and the 
results it generates.

It would also save time being able to grab sample data when testing an 
idea, and if there is a hard to solve problem it would be trivial to state 
"When using test data setname and the following macro the result is xyz, is 
this a bug or am I doing something wrong?", then it is easy for any one to 
replicate the problem, and work on their own version for a fix, and if they 
publish their solution they can quote the result they get from the same 
shared dataset.

On the other hand many of us may just want to test an idea, not even share 
it out there, having dataset or generators of test datasets will be helpful.

Regards
Tony
