Open Australia (http://openaustralia.org) are trying to digitise the
parliamentary register of members interest to improve transparrency in
the federal parliament. The register at the moment is only
available in the basement of the federal parliament in a locked filing
cabinet in a disused toilet behind a sign which says beware of the
tiger ... you get the idea.
One of our ilk has kindly started rigging up a prototype which is
available at github from http://github.com/TJC/openaustralia-rmidet/tree/master
If you're an Australian Catalyst coder with a few tuits, or of you're
not Australian, but you want to get some practical experience with
crowdsourcing document transcription, please fork the git repository
and have a play.
Cheers
Kieren
