[open-economics] Global Economic Map on Wikipedia

This looks like a very interesting initiative.  The fact that you would be
leveraging existing Wikipedia content will allow you to launch a very
complete offering with limited data collection effort.  Have you considered
going beyond GDP to also including government revenue and expenditure data?
That would make the project more relevant to OKFN's OpenSpending community.

The Global Economic Map is a data set that revolves around GDP. Every
country, region and city in the world will have their own article.

Any feedback or advice?

 

Thanks,
