Frictionless Community at a Glance

Have you ever wondered who uses Frictionless Data? Where are the contributors located? What do they really care about? Well, the core team has been wondering and so we asked our community to let us know via our 2021 Community Survey. Here are some of the things we learned!

Where in the world can you find the Frictionless community?

Canada
Belgium
Brazil
Cameroon
Sweden

How long have people been using Frictionless?

What programming languages do community members use the most?

What is one problem you’d like to see Frictionless work on?

"Ratify the standard to permit zipped csv within each package"
"Allowing schema_sync for Table Schema at a specification level. That would allow one to validate dataset against community-approved Table Schemas, which would be a huge boon to interoperability."
"Better integration with CKAN"

What is the schema for this dataset?
