Ian, I've been thinking and am fairly sure that this can be bootstrapped in such a way that that the site can fund its own development. You can focus (short-term) on electoral/political statistics, crowd-sourced from armchair wonks energized by the upcoming election. Use a basic wiki paired with something like gnu/pspp as a platform. Drupal might also be useful. The main problem is spinning everything up fast enough to take advantage of the election. It may help to gamify the initial contributor experience with "achievements" or other digital tokens in order to encourage early-adopter contributions. These can be parlayed as status for when the full site goes live. Meanwhile, you now have a system with living content that you can shop around to investors, which is a hell of a lot more impressive than a slick PPTX and a good elevator pitch.

There are a lot of government and educational institutions that are locked down on Internet Explorer. You don't have to support IE6 (MS itself is trying to kill it off), but IE9 should at least be in there. It's actually fairly standards-compliant, nowadays.

Seriously though, the whole Romney thing that's dominating the political world right right now is literally a debate about the interpretation of economic and demographic data. If Statpedia had been positioned to take advantage...

JawnV6 posted:i like how he's wasting time on kickstarter while the opportunity of a lifetime is just sailing right by seriously, it's not hard to scrape political polling data from the web. combine that with the census, maybe some demographics from pew, then let people loose with an array of statistical tools. kickstarter not even needed, he could have gotten funding from a superpac. oh well.
