Observations

• The DLI web site needs a more direct access from
  StatsCan home page. Why not have a  University
  College data  link

• Many sections need to be explained
• The  Collection on the web  talk about Census
  geography files not available in this section
  but doesnt tell you where to find them (view)

• Reference are made to the  FTP collection 
  but no explanation to where it is, what it
  contains and how to get there? (view)

Conclusion
I would like to conclude this presentation by
asking some questions to new and  not so new 
data liberationists.

• Which sections of the DLI web site have been
  useful to new DLI members?

• How the DLI web site is used by the  not so
  new  DLI members?
