"Last week, we put together Sunlight.Live, a site that helped thousands of people follow the White House's health care summit, alongside real-time data on the members of Congress who were in the crowd," explains Gabriela Schneider, Communications Director at Sunlight Foundation. "I think there may be a lot of translatable material - even for issues far outside politics, or events that aren't live - as implementation process and necessary technology would (or could) be the same for a large number of other uses."

This is Lena Zúñiga, I'm the new project coordinator for the EDGAR Mashup project.   Ian has done a great job starting up this initiative and after a few months of refining the proposal, we're very excited and very proud to announce that we have started the technical development phase of our EDGAR database Mashup project, supported by the Sunlight Foundation.

Our technical team, formed by Skye Bender-DeMoll and Greg Michelec, is now refining a first version of the API.  We expect to have a functioning demo by April this year.
