campaign finance data standards with Sunlight?

[derekeder]

Sunlight Foundation has written a few blog posts on municipal campaign finance data:

• http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2013/10/24/the-landscape-of-municipal-campaign-finance-data/
• http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2013/10/25/the-impact-of-opening-up-municipal-campaign-finance-data/

Worth a read to get a sense of the landscape.

@fgregg I wonder, is there a potential point of collaboration with them along the same lines as the municipal legislation data (pupa) ?

Maybe. At the least we should let Sunlight know about our plans to try to replicate, as far as possible, the NY Times API.
