“A team of developers at the Guardian led by Simon Willison have created a Django application running on Amazon EC2, which allows users to search and help identify stories in MPs’ expenses data released by UK parliament today.
Within 90 minutes of its launch, 1700 users had audited MPs’ expenses using the Guardian’s new crowdsourcing tool, according to a tweet by the Guardian.co.uk editor, Janine Gibson.
The data, which includes 700,000 individual documents, contained within 5,500 PDF files, covers all 646 members of parliament and the Guardian has been live-blogging discoveries since this morning.”
