Consider opening up access to dataset #5

I'm not much of a data whiz myself, but there's a lot of really smart people who can do really interesting things when they get access to an open set of data. There's a lot of ways you could approach it if you wanted to do it, with varying complexity. Some ideas:

Definitely not required, so do what makes the most sense for you with this project. It's great, thanks for sharing it!

And I jumped the gun, looks like you just updated the site to have a link to the csv. 😆

Yup, agreed. Given that the whole dataset is one table, I think distributing the dump as a csv makes the most sense. Accessibility wise, I think it's far easier for a sqlite user to import a csv than it is for a nonsqlite user to extract the csv.
