Hi Hugh
That's an interesting idea but I have difficulties to see what's the target. I have zillions of ideas about that topic but the "how" remain obscur to me.
Please, no wiki. Drupal why not, I don't know it. I remember that once Boris/Bopuc told me he had an idea for a website architecture that could fit to structure political data/concerns/ideas. I don't know if he did anything with that.
Interesting stuff that I searched recently (and could provide project data) :
- Election Canada's donor database (list the donor for political parties : amount, names, zip code).
- The list of lobbyist at Ottawa (3000 people registrered with their clients and the ministers they target)
By the way : I may present a "chronique" at the radio next week (CIBL Montréal) about the use of political data (and CivicAccess). Stay tuned, I'll send another mail if it's confirmed.
Cheers
Steph
