- Anything else we should know:
- How is this project useful? With so much information flying around, people don't always tune into the election news till very close to the election. The project does the hard work of collecting the endorsements, so users can take the app with them into the voting booth and make a decision based on that.
- Where is this project going and what lessons/concepts can be applied to other projects? Goal is to have an app for the 2012 general election. Google Doc spreadsheet exists as a prototype, listing publications, organizations, and candidates. Working on an app for Boston now, but would be great to expand nationally.
