Can I help? (i am unfortunately not a hacker...)

I have met some people here in the EP who has a deep knowledge of the databases and their structure. If we get a bit more consolidated, I have a feeling we could maybe arrange a meeting with them.

That said, the "vibe" in the EP is that secrecy is sacred. On top of that, information hoarding is the business model of most staffers and assistants. After all the MEPs (and the Groups) are competing, so it would be strange to find a "sharing is caring"-culture on the inside.
