  1. Make sure the pages advertise the main value of PopIt Point made that if you are running many projects which use of the same sets of data it means you need to maintain it in only one single place

    PopIt arose from the desire to have a good set of political data.  It isn't perfect and a work in progress.  The interface for non-technical users, for instance, will be improved - it removes the need for you to build it yourself

There was a story on Hacker news - 43 ways in which you get the name field wrong.

    PopIt is focusing hard to solve these problems so that you don't have to - you don't even need to know about the problem

  2. Make it clear that instances are separate and personal
  3. Make it clear which fields are part of core popolo spec, and that you can add other fields as you see fit.
  4. Explain role of different fields better - needs use-case docs.
