This is great news: Walk Score is going to open source its algorithm and expand its data in some interesting ways.
Quote: The algorithm that determines walkability will also be made public. The grant specifically covers incorporating public transit, transportation cost, and greenhouse gas emission data into the score. Added: October 20, 2009 at 4:56PM EDT

The key to what EveryBlock and MSNBC can do with future development of the Knight-funded project: "First, the copyright holders always have the right to authorize release under new license terms. If all the copyright holders of Everyblock agree to it, they can give MSNBC permission to also distribute Everyblock (whether in code or binary form) under any other license."

As some of the two-year Knight News Challenge projects funded in 2007 come to the end of their grants, you might see some big releases, like this one. EveryBlock's source code goes public, and open, which means you can build one for your town -- but you'll need the human chops to gather the data, eh? Not as easy as they make it look. Congrats to Adrian and crew.

The Sunlight Foundation's development wing announces the winners of its first "Apps for America" contest. A lot of great tools here for tracking legislative activity.
