**Making Open Data Accessible for Everyone** 
===== About the Cook Book =====


The open data cook book is collecting recipes for ways to find and use open data, particularly open data of social value - such as open government data, or open data for campaigners and charities.


Working with data can seem scary. But it doesn't have to be. There are many different ways to make data useful - and lots of different gadgets to help you.


Take a look at the growing list of [[:recipe:start|cook book recipes]] to find simple step by step ideas for making use of open data.


===== Recipes =====


You can find a [[:recipe:start|list of the recipes so far here]].


===== Drafts, ideas and notes =====


In the [[:notes:start|cooks notebook]] you can find draft notes on using different datasets and sketches that might develop into recipes in future.

===== Update =====


After a brief experiment with Drupal as a CMS for the cook book - we've switched to DokuWiki for a bit to make compiling a list of recipes a lot easier before we work out the best way to run the Cook Book.
