Hey, I'm messing about with a little something:

http://danlyke.gamahuche.com/polidb/browse.cgi?id=156

You can enter your own assertions at

http://danlyke.gamahuche.com/polidb/assert.cgi

And I forget whether or not this is automatically approving everything yet, but you can see any assertions you've made with by appending an "&unpublished=1" at the end of :

http://danlyke.gamahuche.com/p.../browse.cgi?id=156&unpublished=1

There's the start of the content flow behind it with some notions of trust and verification and all of that, the general idea is that we need an IMDB for politics.

There's a bug in your HTML markup that's keeping the first link from showing up in my browser. The end title tag needs a closing ">".

Thank you. Knew I should've written this with my application framework rather than just slapping it out as dirty Perl

I love this idea from a consumer standpoint (meaning I'd love to have it available to use), but I'm not sure how I could/would contribute. I don't pay that granular attention to political figures. (I also don't fully understand the paradigm - "assertions"?)
