Google Hackathon and Project Scope
The Google Hackathon went really well, I got a lot of really great ideas from the developers, as well as the other NetSquared Contest entrants. I really like Metavid, they are doing similar work by cataloging video footage from the house and senate floor. Awesome! MAPLight is also really cool.
One concrete suggestion I got from the Google developers was to narrow the scope of our proposal. I am going to edit the proposal to focus specifically on the task of parsing and translating the EDGAR database into a format that CorpWatch and Crocodyl can use for our visualization of parent company/subsidiary relationships, and make the format using open standards so that others can build additional API's on top of it.
