The Digital Transparency Index
April 9th, 2009 | Published in Thoughts, hackathon
Now that RepresentedBy has launched, I’ve had a little bit of free time to turn my attention back to my last post about digital transparency.
To help keep the conversation going about digital transparency, I’ve setup a website dedicated to the work around the Digital Transparency Index. The goal of this site is to act as one way of measuring online activity and transparency with legislators, and by providing the data in an open format, allow others to mash it up with their data and observe trends in Congress.
It’s still a work in progress (is anything finished these days?), but check it out and let me know what you think.
