Does anyone feel inclined to group the topics on this list? For instance I would like to list transparency in congressional voting records and other gov data: Sunlight Foundation, Govtrack.us, and others. Does it makes sense to group this topic under any general heading? Sethwoodworth 12:58, 24 November 2008 (EST)
