announce theinfo.org: a community for people who work with large data sets

[Aaron Swartz]

When I was at the Open Government meeting in Sebastapol the other
month, Larry Lessig asked whether there was a community of scrapers.
It was a good question. There were communities for people who scraped
news sites, and people who scraped book data, and that meeting had
lots of people who scrape Open Government data, but there was no
community that cut across these topical lines. So I've put one
together:

I hope people involved in this stuff will join the mailing lists and
get involved.
