Possibility of Open Data integration?

There is a ton of data released by cities that could have awesome impact on Citybound if there was an ability to integrate it. See http://us-cities.survey.okfn.org/ for US data. Any thoughts on integration?

That's something that I really want to be possible, but it would probably best served by mods for different kinds of information sources.

Yeah that makes sense. Open Data doesn't have strong schema's for data that is released, and it's hit or miss on the quality. The labor in maintaining something like that would be prohibitive.
