WhoDoTheyKnow

I’m very late to the party in posting about my Young Rewired State 2011 project, but better late than never I guess!

For YRS 2011, I worked on my own from home on a project called WhoDoTheyKnow, which is a really easy and accessible way to browse the recorded meetings between government and media representatives, aggregated from several datasets recently released by Downing Street.

I had lots of fun building this. It’s quite interesting to have a look through, and see just how frequently some members of government were meeting with certain members of the media.

You can take a look at the prototype at whodotheyknow.heroku.com. It was built with Rails – and a fair bit of data input – and the source code can be found on GitHub (although be warned, it is a pre-alpha stage and run at your own risk!).
