[open-government] List of catalogues and applications

Wed Jan 19 20:26:56 UTC 2011

Hey Antti,

this is a really nice start! Thanks for this. I will have a look at Needlebaselater. Is it suitable for online collaboration? So people could add and edit?

Also I wonder if and how this information could be added to the www.opengovernmentdata.org mapping project. Any suggestions?

Regards
Daniel

I am still not happy with the way this information is displayed. Over all the map is not jet automatically synced with the content of the spreadsheets. The kml file has to be created manually from here: http://bit.ly/ogd-world-map

It would be good to find a way to pull information from the catalogues and competitions spreadsheets automatically into the world map spreadsheets and automatically create a new klm file after any changes? This way we would need to add lat/long information two the catalogues and competitions spreadsheets as well.
