After about 4 months of work, we're now ready for a public beta release of our API. It will probably change a lot in the near future as we get more feedback of real-wold usage but it's stable enough for release. Read up about it if you're interested.

Our Terms of Service is fairly non-restrictive. We just put in provisions to keep people from misrepresenting our data or abusing our systems. It's being released free (as in beer) so orgs small and large can easily afford to use it. We've also decided to release all of our libraries under the BSD License.

Now all we need is users, and we will be set. Read up and if you have any questions, please e-mail webmaster@votesmart.org.
