It might be worth mentioning somewhere that the site/project is focused on the United States. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the impression I get when I look through the projects and filtering options.

It'd be nice to associate each agency with a country, so that you could filter on a particular country as well.

I have been working on adding other countries as well but right now it is US only, the new importer would let us bring code from many more orgs...

Near the bottom, project bluebird description: "Guided twitter messages for surveillance prototype.. " Not a reassuring description. Or a very positive one.

The project is, afaik, a flu survey that tweets an encoded set of answers. Like, both piggybacks off twitter's infrastructure and benefits from its wider userbase: http://www.phiresearchlab.org/?p=2781

Considering what the project actually does, might be a good thing to rewrite the description entirely - if of course, it wasn't retired since it was a prototype and the test ended successfully.

Particularly useful site for me... but that is one jacked up mobile site.
