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
