Hello,

   Let’s continue the series on Day 2 with factbook [2] - Turn the
World Factbook (260+ country profiles) into open structured data e.g
JSON.

    Explore the world with ruby e.g. Where do you find gold in the
world? Look for the economy / resources section.What countries have
the most internet hosts? What countries have the most proven crude
oil reserves? And so on.

Cheers.

Oh the Factbook, I parsed that data so many times,
I am glad to know there is a gem for it.

What you are doing is really awasome ! Bravo !

They only way i can contribute this year it to diffuse
the verb via FB and Twitter and I will right now.

Bye
Nicola
