Marco, could you present to the p2p blog? many thanks, Michel SPEND, SPEND, SPEND! =================== If you haven't seen it yet, check out the new OpenSpending site ( <http://www.openspending.org/> ). The team have been hard at work over the past few months, securing and uploading a massive new release of Italian spending data in April, getting all that data.gov.uk data for government spending over £25k put in, and creating some fab visualisations. It was really exciting to see the site go live in time for OKCon 2011! The long-term aim of the project is to track every government and corporate financial transaction across the world and present it in useful and engaging forms for everyone from a schoolchild to a data geek. So if your country, state, or city isn't yet involved, we'd love your help getting that data input from all over the world! Head over to the site for more info. * <http://blog.okfn.org/2011/04/19/where-does-italys-money-go/> * < http://blog.okfn.org/2011/06/16/opening-up-government-data-gov-uk-publishes-...
