[Open-Legislation] Bundes-Git: post on OKFN Labs blog

Thu Dec 13 20:35:14 UTC 2012

Stefan,

I do have some suggestions, outlined in this old
blogpost<http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2010/07/29/apps-for-thomas-3-wishes/>.
In
summary:  It'd be very helpful be able to identify related legislation (or
parts of legislation) from previous legislative sessions, or similar bills
introduced in the same session.

I'm happy to chat further,

Daniel
