[OpenSpending] USA Spending (or a slice) into OpenSpending

Fri Sep 14 19:45:25 UTC 2012

Hi Rufus, I've always been interested in the US side of the OKFN equation.
We went over this back in 2008 when I first signed up with the OKFN and
wanted to push a more comprehensive KM plan, but things change.
How are SIGs (Special Interest Group) organized. I can't search them or set
them on the OKFN site. I will be happy to work with, or create and
maintain, a US OKFN sig. I'd also be happy to help you with the bankruptcy
data if you'd like, but I never got a response when I asked what you hoped
to accomplish.
Regards, Steve Adcock
