[open-government] Software for Open Data : Drupal?

Tue Sep 13 10:44:22 UTC 2011

Hi,

I'm a bit late, but we're in the last days of the development of the raw 
data platform called Raw Salad. It's dedicated to raw data publication and 
easy access (search, permalinks, filtering/sorting, REST API etc) to data.

If you are interested in a current almost finished beta preview please 
visit (be aware: it's a test server, not a final release!):

 	http://cecyf.megivps.pl

At the moment it's all in polish, but google translator can help for the 
preview purpose.

The software is BSD licensed, so no problem with reuse and is scheduled 
for a further intensive development for at least next six months.

I'd be happy to provide you with additional info if you are interested in 
Raw Salad.

Greetings from Poland,
