I think so. People need to know, in the context of open government in general, and open data as well, as part of open government, that we're doing interesting things as a country. There's room for improvement, but that improvement won't happen unless there's dialogue between different actors and unless citizens are engaged in a meaningful and ongoing way. Certainly that requires some sort of information or public relations campaign so that people know about it in the first place.
