That's great! Let's get the budget data up on OpenSpending.

I'm going to need a little more information from you, but let's move
this to a private chat. Could you reply to me only (not the list) and
give me a link to the csv file and describe how you're trying to create
the model.

The documentation and the process is unfortunately not the best I must
admit so trial and error is as good as reading and I'm here to help so
no worries.

Are you by any chance going to OKFestival in Berlin? There's going to be
a session there on budget data specification which could make everything
much simpler for you (but let's still try to get what you have now working).
