Adding a "Ghost Point" for the future based on the expected frequency of publishing.

One of the features that would be helpful to the government and the public:

The expected interval of update is information that's included in the meta data on the data set or at the vey least, is being tracked in written documents. We've been introduced to this information on http://www.nashville.gov... It's in a word doc... unfortunately.

What would be nice is if a data point can be depicted on the timeline of when an expected update should be published.

Visualized in wonderful ASCII art:

Data Set:  |===|=====|=====|=====|=====|=====|=====|     |

1. Where the pipe: "|" = When a data set was published / updated.
2. Where the lone pipe... line out in the future is when the data set should be published next.
3. When an expected date of publishing lapses... Tweet, E-Mail, Delete Facebook... Lawyer up... Let people know that the dateline has been crossed.

Other thoughts:

1. Implement an old school e-mail first... giving an expected date of publishing reminder.
2. Give them a grace period of X (?) days in order to publish it.
3. Give a missed deadline e-mail.
4. Mechanisms for followup.
