Regulations and rulemaking info would be very useful for the area of law I'm interested in. Though annotations would be a great addition, I think just having a simple UX for searching and accessing these documents (Orders, filed comments, etc) would be a huge win. This is a problem I've been working on mostly as a hobby to scratch my own itch, and I'd be happy to discuss what I've learned. One big pitfall I've noticed with taming regulatory data is that often each agency has its data siloed differently. Regulations.gov has been great for harmonizing many, many agencies, but here's a list of all the agencies that are currently "non-participating": http://www.regulations.gov/docs/Non_Participating_Agencies.pdf http://www.regulations.gov/docs/Non_Participating_Agencies.p.... This means you'd need a parser/scraper for each agency, assuming its rulemaking data is even made available in a sane format (like a spreadsheet). Anyways, best of luck. Successfully wrangling legal data seems more difficult than building the Hyperloop.
