Absolutely :-) (I thought I'd linked this in my initial email but
checking now realize it was missing!).

I anticipate data going into the central DB and then being displayed
in a given site (this is the WhereDoesMyMoney and AfricanSpending
model) so first step here is to get it into OpenSpending.org and then
it should auto show up in AfricanSpending (once we get the view pages
back up there)!
