- Where is this project going and what lessons/concepts can be applied to other projects? Both team members are from Code for America and this could be great fun way to get people in CFA cities out and about. The more places the tool goes, the more data gets generated. The data generated can be used for other applications too, and helps model gathering open data for many civic purposes.
