Rob, Thanks for that. I follow the gb mailing list too so watched your progress with jealousy ;)
Those tools look great. I'm especially interested in the map roulette aspect as I see it being very useful in terms of us consuming government data, in particular where there has been a lot of mapping done already i.e. Schools, Fire stations, libraries etc etc. Off the top of your head, do you know your start/end numbers and did any tool account for a big jump in the numbers?
