[OpenSpending] Public money quizzes for OpenSpending.org?

Mon Aug 26 15:27:58 UTC 2013

To engage more people around the OpenSpending project and to increase
literacy around public finance, have we ever thought about doing simple
quizzes about different aspects of public expenditure and revenue?

E.g. you could have questions like:

  * "In the [financial year X] which are did
[national/regional/local/departmental government entity Y] spend most on?
spending category A, B, or C?"
  * "Which of the following countries spends most on [spending category A]
per capita? country X, country Y, country Z"
  * "How much does [company X] get from [government Y]? €Ak, €Bk, €Ck"

Followed by nice simple visualisations showing relative spending on each
category, perhaps with some context and links to relevant data items on
OpenSpending.

What do people think?
