Aside from the dataviz itself (which is nifty but uses a fairly small gender dataset),
what I like about this project is the open data supply chain it illustrates:
(1) we publish raw data;
(2) a research team in Italy builds an API on top of our data;
(3) a dataviz expert in Buenos Aires tells a good story with data from the API
(4) we learn something about our community that we would have never produced by ourselves
A good reminder of the value of investing into APIs and well-documented data sources.
Dario
