Hi All,

We're having a code-sprint this Friday and Saturday to work on an app
for the world bank competition called 'Open HDI' (Human Development
Index).

The idea is to look at 'development beyond GDP' by collecting
weightings on particular aspects of 'development' (health, education,
gdp, inequality) from users.

A first version of the app has been put together by Dirk Heine and Guo
Xu (focused on EU rather than world):

More info plus signup is on the etherpad:
