Where are my tax dollars going?

This is cool and all, but unless I'm missing something I don't think there would have been that much work that had to be done to make this happen. I don't really think this is the kind of thing kickstarter should be used for, at the very least it should be reframed to say: "with the money made from this kickstarter, I will work on these future projects, as well as releasing this thing I've already done."

This is effectively just selling an already finished product, but abusing the mindshare that kickstarter has even though it's not really intended for this case.

Also... if the data is available freely already in a machine readable format somewhere (is it?), the script to transcribe that to the filesystem would probably only be a weekend project for a reasonable dev.
