I started a hackpad for suggestions https://datameet.hackpad.com/Guidelines-for-Indian-Government-Websites-9hXUSgaNG3m
Please comment on the points you think need to be improved for better public data over govt. websites. I think we can make suggestions on content/data licenses on the websites, file strucutres, no to pdf`s and also tabular data.
