The Wonder of dapper.net

As we s-l-o-w-l-y get the voter information project up and off the ground, Ilan discovered dapper.net, and I have to admit to being wholly enthralled. Take any kind of web data - HTML, RSS, XML, etc. etc. - and do transforms or simply parse out the stuff you actually want, and voila! Export to various data formats, including “daap XML”, the default. These can then be accessed publicly on the net, or if you prefer, only by you.

It looks like this will greatly ease the import of congressional and state assembly data into the voter information project. Yay! I was not looking forward to copy and paste :)
