Hi Datameeters, I am a third year undergraduate student at IIT Kharagpur and a keen open source contributor and data enthusiast. It is my pleasure to join the group the people where everyone is making a good effort to bring more government data into the public.
I wanted your opinion on something. As I have noticed, whenever we have to analyse something or present to the public users, the data collection (scraping, crawling) has to be performed by each developer individually. This is a time consuming process and slows down the main portion of analysis and deductions. I would therefore like to propose a project where we can develop a set of scripts which would provide API for _generally_ required information which can then be easily used by other developers. To understand more about what I am talking about, please have a look at the @unitedstates group at github[1]. This would be very similar and on the lines of this community maintained project, just that it will be for India. I am accompanied by other guys in my college to carry this forward. I would love to hear your suggestions and ideas about this. If possible we can work this together.
