Neil Eggsgard personally funded a project at:

Beyond that, it seems it would be relatively easy to take the mySociety source as is and hook it up to appropriate feeds.  

I was considering doing this a few months ago as a VisibleGovernment.ca pilot, but the people that I was talking to as test markets didn't seem to get excited about it, so I started looking at other things.
