New MAPLight.org launched
MAPLight.org is a Drupal site I’ve been working with for quite awhile. Their upgrade to Drupal 6 and redesign launched last week. We worked with Chapter Three for design and theming; and MAPLight’s excellent team for the idea, research, and quite detail-oriented QA. It is already getting some mentions in the media.
Both money and legislative data sources have modules to pull the same source data into your database. OpenSecrets Open Data for donations to U.S. Congress; Legislature for votes and more from GovTrack.us. MAPLight’s research is available in an API.
This marks the end of my direct responsibility for Drupal 5 sites. That leaves Drupal 5 itself to maintain, where the issue queue has been quiet. With no real sites to test and no SimpleTest coverage, core releases will be a little more stressful, but not much is changing. Remember, Drupal 7’s release is Drupal 5’s end of life.
Comments
My compliments in the highest regard on this site. Not only is the "Drupal" end of the site awesome (great design, implementation, and usability) but the topic and information conveyed are brilliant. I bet it made you sick to have to work with this data that show just how corrupt both sides of the aisle are.
Mentioned on MSNBC, as shown on crooksandliars.com, another Drupal site.
