Daniel Schuman of The Sunlight Foundation has posted House Launches Transparency Portal, on The Sunlight Foundation Blog.
Mr. Schuman’s post describes http://docs.house.gov/ — also called “Bills This Week” and “Bills to Be Considered on the House Floor” — which provides free public access to XML versions of “all House bills, amendments, resolutions for floor consideration, and conference reports … as well as information on floor proceedings and more.”
The post evaluates the House site in light of the House leadership’s stated transparency goals, and describes additional content and services planned for the site.
