Javier Muniz, Granicus' CTO expressed interest in the effort on the Sunlight list. I have a call with Granicus on Tuesday and will be working on DemocracyMap over the weekend.

Javier mentioned sharing the format of their data and providing some light assistance for related tasks. And when Daniel and I had a chance to meet in DC, we chatted about format standards with a focus on unique URI's.

I am open to engaging you guys if it breaks through all of the way. I am skeptical about the chances since it didn't make it all the way last time ... although, why would they ask for it back. We are working with OpenPlans.org on a round two for DemocracyMap as well ... I doubt they will make us choose, but DemocracyMap is my priority because I think it is a fundamental precursor to public meeting ideas and others.
