<p>My question is simply:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><em>What is the preferred way for CV users to share data?</em></p>
</blockquote>

<p>If there isn't one, I think there should be.</p>

<p>For example, some users provide a link to an external data source. Others dump it in <code>code mode</code>. Each has its pros and cons, but at least they are <strong>open</strong> ways of sharing the data.</p>

<p>Seeing <em>"[...] send me the data through email"</em> a couple of times on CV was the motivation for this question. I hope we – as a community – agree that such behavior should be discouraged.</p>
