Hi all,

Just to add - the idea that WhatDoTheyKnow doesn't host FOI materials
through channels other than WhatDoTheyKnow isn't really an ideological
decision. It's just a side-effect of how the site was built.

I hope very much that in the next year we can build a feature that
would let more enthusiastic public bodies to upload data that was
requested via other channels. But we'd just have to have the time and
money to do it, that's all.

best,

Tom
