Stef sez, “TheyWorkForYou.com, the Open Source re-imagining of the site that the British Parliament should be, has been quietly acquiring video from BBC Parliament for a while now, and has over 30,000 clips. However, due the archaic nature of the Mother of Parliaments, there has been no sufficiently accurate timecode data (anywhere!) to make it available on the site to users.
Solution: they’ve built a little crowdsourcing game: watch the video, match the text, the clip goes live, and you move up the rankings. Improving democracy has never been so addictive.
Let’s see if we can get all the clips live before the Cease-and-Desist arrives.”
(Thanks, Stef!)
