[open-economics] The Statistical Memory of Brazil

Mon Jan 14 17:51:01 UTC 2013

Thanks for the link, that's a great initiative. Looking forward to learning
more about the crowdsourcing/collaboration platforms. Is anybody from
University of Sao Paulo or Unicamp involved? If not, I can contact some
people there to see if they are interested in joining the effort.

Eustáquio, parabéns pelo trabalho!

cheers
