City council meeting scraping and agenda packet summarization, for the whole country

Active
Open source: Yes

No more digging through 50-page PDFs to see what your city council is up to. Just search your zip code or city and get the important stuff in plain English. Democracy works better when everyone can participate. But government meetings are often hard to find, harder to understand, and buried in bureaucratic language. We're changing that.
