Thanks for the feedback! We love ScraperWiki, too.

Our initial target audience is not developers, which means that our MVP focuses on UX and making data not-scary for non-technical individuals.

Could you expand on what you mean by lacking open source? ScraperWiki isn't open source either, right? Neither is GitHub. We're interested in knowing what you'd do with it if it was open source. Big ideas?

For the record: ScraperWiki is about %95 open source: https://bitbucket.org/ScraperWiki/scraperwiki/src and Github has an incredible open source presence: https://github.com/github. Meanwhile... https://github.com/buzzdata

I'm not trolling, I'm just a big fan of open data -- especially community driven approaches.

Awesome! We're building a pretty great community.

I can't wait to see your contributions.
