A view through my scuttle

This is a product of kind of a German version of Sunlight Labs: A group called Tactical Tools - I think one can argue, whether this is a good name for an Open Data activist group - developed a visualization of the spending of the German federal government. Now the visualization is not totally great, you will at some points see that it is hard to read the text in the boxes, but it’s good, it’s cool and it is a start. I think it is great that some people do work on those tools in Germany and on the issue of an Open Government. So therefore I just want to promote their work - although I doubt many people are reading this post. But I thought I do my fair share ;)
