Describe your idea:

A UK version of http://littlesis.org/ I am currently working with Eddie Tejeda, the lead developer of LittleSis, on a separate project and wonder if we/you might work with the Public Accountability Initiative and Sunlight Foundation to set up a UK version. It’s not a genuinely new idea, but I don’t know of anything like it in the UK.

What problem does it solve?:

It allows members of the public and media organisations to easily determine the social background of powerful people and the relationships between them. It exposes conflicts of interest and brings transparency to influential social networks.

Type of idea: New feature for an existing project
