This is a presentation was for 2010 Future of News and Civic Media Conference and the panel session: "Data into Action"
Thu, 06/17/2010 - 11:00am - 12:30pm
"Our lives are increasingly mediated by computers and data a shift that is becoming more and more natural to us. From Data.gov to real-time municipal bus information, data in many forms from many sources is being made available and recombined in ways we could not have anticipated just ten years ago, when everyone used the phone book, and when restaurant and movie reviewers numbered in the tens not the tens of thousands."

20. MassDOT Developers Relationship Principles
1) Respect resources
2) Succeed together
3) Expect change
4) Communication is key
5) Open, open, open
Legalese:
- Building applications does not increase the likelihood you will be
awarded a contract by MassDOT now or in the future.
- The MassDOT will make all efforts to keep data
open once it's been released.

I would have been happy to help out with the data entry.
Police should be doing what they are trained and hired to do.

Let's be creative: There are other sources of data entry volunteers who can themselves be 'vetted' for security purposes:
All those ministers who have community meetings and say "something must be done";
AARP members looking to 'do good' in the community;
Retired court or criminal justice personnel.
Divide up the work--let the police on the front lines do their part, let reliable others handle the computer database entries.
Once data are entered, it will be far easier to maintain it.
