I thought this could be of interest to some projects working with Aid Data.

Hello!

Just want to link to this great resource: An API for Open Source Exchange
Rates, which might be of interest for some spending projects.
http://josscrowcroft.github.com/open-exchange-rates/

The second point is a question, whether somebody works on deflators? (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDP_deflator) There is already some stuff
being done: http://wiki.openspending.org/Financial_Transformations_Toolkit,
but I wonder if others have the same problem, that they have financial
data for some years and need to calculate the value change (e.g. inflation
rate).

Best regards,

Christian
