Hi all,

I just saw an announcement that mySociety will be mothballing some of
their old projects. One of them is "Scenic or not?" - it's a project
to gather "a freely available nation-wide dataset of scenicness" for
the UK.
http://scenic.mysociety.org/

So, well I never heard about it until now, but now it's shutting down,
or at least going into read-only mode. Why do I mention it?

* It provides open crowdsourced data about scenicness (ODBL licence) -
hundreds of thousands of votes cast. Surely one of you might do
something interesting with it?
* "Would you like to run ScenicOrNot yourself?" asks the website.
Maybe you would...?

Dan
