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

Hi all,

I've been thinking we should try to get an active project going
within the civicaccess.ca group (and elsewhere). I just registered a
domain visiblepolitics.org and outlined a project here:
http://dosemagazine.blogsome.com/2007/01/31/visiblepoliticsorg/

any interest? nothing but an idea and a URL at the moment. if
interested, pls comment on the site.

Cheers,
Hugh.
