[Open-Legislation] parltrack

dear fellows,

Parltrack is free software developed by me that liberates a lot of hard to
process data (like PDFs, word docs, and HTML pages) as reusable open data and
presents this as a kind of dashboard for activists, providing fresh and
relevant data not only for the concerned but the curious citizen as well. Even
pros from the European Parliament have praised it.

For us - who are deprived of huge industry budgets - there is a lot of
potential to be developed in the liberated data. However there is only about a
week left in the campaign, and the final goal is still a long-shot - but then
already a few hundred people could make a huge difference.

so if possible i'd like to ask you to get this campaign out to the people.
Like cory on boingboing earlier today, a lot of other nice people have called
for support. I also produced a lot of extra material, which you can reuse if
you want:
