“The team behind a longtime Philadelphia data project is calling on users to help improve it — and the city to help fund it.

OpenDataPhilly, a catalog of publicly available datasets across Philly, is run by a small team of volunteers who have stayed committed to the site and its mission despite a lack of money and participants. The more people that contribute to its success, the more it can help Philadelphians get engaged with issues they care about across the city, they said.

But there’s only so much this small team can accomplish as volunteers. With more help and financial support, the site could add features that make the data easier to find.”
