Is anyone interested in working on such a tool (or adapting the US one)?On checking, I see that the Guardian have an RSS feed for their obituaries:At the WMUK education summit yesterday somebody - I regret that I don't recall who - mentioned a tool that scrapes a US newspaper for obituaries, and matches them to Wikipedia articles (or highlights missing Wikipedia articles).It was suggested that we might have a UK equivalent.
