The Importable test graph data issue is more about test data, that is, giving us quick access to data with specific properties meant to diagnose problems. We want this data to be small, or synthetic generated by code (not require any download of significant data)
But here, we're interested in making it easy and enticing users to explore interesting data using our tools. Sure, they can google around for data sources, and learn how to prepare these for cosmograph, but if we can already point them to some nice data source (awesome list of graph data?) and prepare a few of these for them in some gallery form, we'll make it easier for them to get hooked.
Eventually, we probably want to host this gallery ourselves in a cosmograph, with data stored in some blob storage system (S3 for example?).
Once our data transformers are stable, instead of prepared data we store ourselves, we'll also have the choice to only have to store transformer pipelines that produce the prepared data from their original source (we don't need to store the raw data ourselves, just provide it's url).
But for now, to get started, let's use github:
Here's a snippet of @rokotyan's comment:
The urls were created automatically by dragging image and csv.zip files to the browser, so perhaps we can just use that for now. Drag and drop images and files into a wiki in the current project, and then reuse the links to provide other access options (such as importable datasets).
Of course, this effort of providing easy access to graph data should be an open-ended ongoing effort. Let's leave this issue open as a reminder for awhile, and close it when we feel we have a sufficient current setup and a plan for future improvements.
To make it easy for the user to start playing with our tools, would be nice to make it easy for them to * get source graph data, and
This issue regards the former.
(The Utils to transform data into the normalized form that cosmograph accepts issue is about the latter.)

@rokotyan's comment to the Importable test graph data issue contains exactly that: Images of graphs and their links to it's (prepared) data source.
