A country that's polarized is paralyzed. If we want any change in the coming years, we need to find a way to work together. However, you can't just unify people by holding hands and singing Kumbaya. No – rather than ignore or "put aside" our differences, let's use our different perspectives & interests & skills to tackle problems from all possible angles! For us to find common ground, we first need to find common goals.

This is the Common Project project.

Below, you'll find a list of projects, people, organizations, books, talks, movies, articles, and ideas that cross partisan lines to solve The Big Problems we face today. There's many such problems. And we'll need help from all sides.

This is a demonstration of how to create a combination town/county map from a shapefile using TopoJSON and d3.js.

It includes a simplified version of the code used for the Massachusetts special Senate election results on The Huffington Post.

Get the data

Download a shapefile of Massachusetts towns from the state's GIS site:

wget http://wsgw.mass.gov/data/gispub/shape/census2000/towns/census2000towns_poly.exe

// Solve the knapsack problem using recursive descent.
// This wraps the actual solver below with a nice interface.
// It also handles non-integer cost, but then the complexity
// scales with the precision of the cost!
//
// obj is an object of named [cost, benefit] pairs, e.g.
// { banana: [5, 33],
//   apple:  [1, 12],
//   kiwi:   [1, 7]

Tabletop.js is a fantastic, open-source JavaScript library that lets developers easily integrate data from Google Spreadsheets into their online projects. I've used it, even contributed a minor feature, and love it for prototyping. Non-programmers love being able to update a project via Google Spreadsheets' hyper-intuitive interface.

That said, I'm extraordinarily wary of using Tabletop in production. Instead, at the Wall Street Journal, we use a bit of middleware to "prune" our Google Spreadsheets-based data and then cache it on our own servers. A few brief reasons:

• Short-Term Reliability. With Tabletop, your project depends on Google not to rate-limit access to your spreadsheet. Google rate-limits access to their Spreadsheet API, though the thresholds aren't clear. If you're building an app you care about, you don't want to be i
