	Abstract: For years, visualization has focused on expert users with a job to do and limited time. With the advent of visualization on the web, the landscape has changed. Now, visualization is presented to people with no external motivation, on their leisure time, and competing with various other activities. Still, visualization remains a powerful tool to make sense of complex data, in particular for citizens who want to make sense of the world they live in, with the help of the open data initiatives for examples. But introducing visualization to the people triggers multiple problems related to visualization literacy, interaction literacy, that need solutions. We started to explore this research landscape with students and colleagues. I will report on some issues and solutions that hopefully will lead to a faster adoption of visualization by the people.
