This is great work. Forgive me if I'm missing it, but since the blog post implies you're aggregating and cleaning the data from several lists, is there any way to see the latest additions (RSS etc?) rather than directly searching for individuals?
It would make it more useful for flagging up potential stories, as well as researching stories journalists are already writing.
disclosure: I work for a company that provides real-time data to journalists for story discovery, and I know we'd certainly be interested
I never thought of that, but certainly having a RSS feed is a great idea. I have not done it as the journalists have not requested it. So far they have been asking me for more spiders so Manolo would include visit records from other Peruvian institutions.
Carlos, super buen trabajo, felicitaciones!!
Llevo tiempo estudiando temas relacionados a tecnología vs. corrupción desde acá en Berkeley. Tengo testimonios interesantes de contactos que han vivido el cambio post-tecnología en el gobierno. Perú tiene harto potencial en esta área. Si necesitas ayuda en cualquier momento feliz de apoyarte!
muchas gracias! En el Perú ya hay varios grupos de periodistas que se han asociado con programadores para hacer proyectos interesantes de periodismo de datos. Está Ojo Publico, Convoca e IDL reporteros. Pero igual no nos damos abasto hay tanto por hacer!
Carlos, super good job, congratulations!! I study issues related to technology vs. corruption from here in Berkeley. I have interesting evidence from contacts who have experienced post-technology change in government. Peru has (too much) potential in this area. If you need help at any time I am happy to support you!

thank you! In Peru there are already several groups of journalists who have partnered with developers to make interesting data journalism projects. There is Ojo Publico [1], Convoca [2] and IDL Reporters [3]. But all the same, it's not enough, there's so much to do!
Good work! It would be interesting to cross match the visits with any other source of information (newspaper, wikileaks, etc.) Over a timeline to recreate the hole event of someone. This will allow to identify patterns and their modus operandi.
It would be interesting to see the volume of visits by government office year over year. I have a feeling that periods around elections might look very different. Also would be interested to see distribution color-coded by industry. Mining and contracting should pop up for certain time periods and government agencies.
yes. So far we have a very simple API http://manolo.rocks/docs/
With this API, it is possible to download all the structured data kept in Manolo and do such interesting analyses.
Or maybe that can be implemented in Manolo's GUI. It should not be difficult as it is based on Django.
Existe alguna fuente de informacion como la de Peru, para Bolivia? Me imagino que hay mucho que descrubir sobre la corrupcion en Bolivia y el trafico de influencias.
