Hopefully coding will help the project retrieve for more data. Humans will be important to retrieve data from hard to find places (government publications, Google, etc.). I imagine that both humans and bots will help edit the project.
The point of the project is to present economic information in a way that is understandable to average human being. The project is designed to be educational and simple. Economists can help determine better ways to present the information too. The economy is such an important part of our society and I believe it deserves it's own wiki project. What do you mean by the 'output' needs to be designed?
