Much credit goes to wensing and Stormpulse for the inspiration.

This site uses the Ruby static site generator Middleman and is hosted on Amazon S3.

Ruby scripts pull data from (currently) 8 different government agencies from around the world. This data is then stored in YAML format so that it can be used by Middleman. The site is then rebuilt and uploaded to S3.
