To Ryan Kirkman and Thomas Davis: could you make some of the data freely available to the Natural Language Processing community?

If this is something that interests people, then it will be worth the time to automate this process. I suspect that there are blog entries, twitts, facebook updates that already answer these questions. Now we have to mine them. "Gold standard" set of Q/A would make it easier.

EDIT: But I hope there will be a way of getting Q/A in a bulk, right? Thanks

NOTE TO SELF: This could be a data mining or text mining web app. Check if the interest grows in time.

So I just added minimal json export functionality, if you add .json at the end of questions you should get a response.

e.g.

We will be releasing a .json endpoint for each question with all the meta data and results. Stay tuned!
