paultagmhall119: right now, some scrapers to import CO's bill + vote data15:28
paultagI just finished that last night, so I might do people today15:28
mhall119ew, scrapers15:30
paultagyeah I know15:32
paultagbut it's for global good15:32
paultagmhall119: we scrape the data into our backend + open API, so we are the only ones who have to do it15:32
paultagsince states won't provide this over an API themselves15:32
mhall119that's cool15:34
mhall119it's a shame that governments don't automatically make it available like that15:34
paultagyeah totally15:34
mhall119did you see that NY I think it was has an open-source redistricting program?15:34
paultagmhall119: yeah, they also have some cool data on how names change over time from the census15:35
mhall119Florida has one available to us to make our own district maps, but it's not open source, and it's horribly ugly15:35
paultagmhall119: NY has some fairly cool stuff, actually15:35
paultagthey were open to adopting our API standard for bill data15:35
paultagwhich would be *awesome*15:35
