Here's a collections data experiment The Henry Ford, in partnership with
Compuware, is trying this month--a one-day on-site hackathon using our
digitized collections assets accessed via SQL database/APIs. It's happening
during Maker Faire Detroit 2013.

Would love to have any developers in the area come on down and give it a try!
