DPBD:
So,
this is what I did this weekend. We walked through a lot of use cases, once we realized that the initial idea of replacing the
Google-eaten-and-disappeared Needlebase was a wee bit ambitious for a weekend hackathon, and used a Hackasaurus tool to start on how to automate scraping for some open data sites. Check out the "Develop for Haystax" page for the GitHub link and see if you want to contribute code!
This could be a great tool for journalists and, well, anyone who wants to explore open data but is frustrated by online data interfaces that require you to enter a query, see 20 results, click on the "Next" button, oh, another 417 times... .
