"Open Congress" has retired #747

Closed itaibs closed 7 years ago

itaibs commented 7 years ago

In the about page, there are links to similar sites around the world. The first one leads to "Open Congress" - which is retired.

Suggestion: Change to link to "govtrack" which is recommended from the old open congress website.

@morchickit what do you think?

morchickit commented 7 years ago

Not the same think like our "threats" -

  1. GovTrack did a similar thing to Open Congress and is still alive and kicking.
  2. Sunlight retired some of their tools because they closed their lab. Tools moved to volunteer efforts (just like GovLab).

@morchickit not sure I understand the verdict.. should @itaibs change the link and the name? or maybe other suggestion?

morchickit commented 7 years ago

Oh! I thought you asked my opinion on it in general.

Just change to govtrack.org
