Shameless plug. Please give me feedback.

I would like to create laymen oriented central repository for all public spending data of the world.

* Hosting problems - I make my own copy of the data.

* Format problems - clearing and formatting data from different sources is a real pain. Once it is on my website, I offer CSV download or COPY/PASTE tabulated data.

* Update problems - no versioning or public API yet.

* Provenance problems - there is a link to the source of the data.

* Presentation problems - tailored to displaying budgets. Not cross-browser or full mobile support yet.
