Hi Rick,
Yes, ...Another comment received by email:<br />Hi Rick,<br /><br />Yes, it is interesting isn't it? I would like to see the DFID site have a click through to the websites of their projects. Certainly all the major ones in Bangladesh have good sites. I've searched my own programme on the DFID site and cannot find a link (admittedly using an iPad in a bumpy car!)Rick Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07028422984421301184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719829.post-15914786077961035602012-06-13T10:26:01.588+00:002012-06-13T10:26:01.588+00:00One comment received by email:
I hadn't... bu...One comment received by email:<br />I hadn't... but response<br /><br />Q1: Yes, definitely commend them. I just wish that government would separate out their data from their presentations (not just DFID, it happens all the time). So it's good that it's downloadable, but it'd be better if they had a published data API, and then have their own front-end use that to show the pretty searches, implement the search, draw maps etc. That way, the answer to Q2 is much more likely to be...<br /><br />Q2: Yes. I've been a little bit involved with rewired state (rewiredstate.org), doing some hack days where we've been pointed at data (the most recent one I went to was UK Parliament data) and spend a weekend making something fun with it. There's lots of others, I think there are some that are International Development focussed.<br /><br />It looks like IATI might be doing this directly, and DFID send them their data.<br /><br />Q3. Don't know enough really, although given the work that IATA have done to categorise this stuff it'd be a shame to break that.Rick Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07028422984421301184noreply@blogger.com
