Knight News Challenge

I'm happy to say that Cruiskeen Consulting LLC's recent proposal to the Knight News Challenge has been requested to make a full proposal.  This means that it will move on to the 2nd round of the News Challenge judging. Our proposal is to create a system to build Gov.. 2.0 transparency web sites for townships in Wisconsin, and then to aggregate the news from them into a site that would provide categorized news feeds from them for use by reporters and other interested parties.

We're excited, but we've also come this close before in previous years, and did not receive a grant.  So for now all we can do is wait (oh, and finish the full proposal, of course).

We'll also be presenting a session on this proposal at CityCamp in Chicago next month.
