CMS and the Panama Papers

People want to see this stuff bad.
They don't want some watered-down pre-screened dribble from Govt or Journalists.
Give Us the data. On the Cloud in searchable sortable data sets. It's that simple!
All we want is the data. Give it to us Now!...

Here is how I'd like to see the Panama Papers on the cloud.

FIRST! How to distribute the "EMAILS" for quick easy access by the populace.

Lets start with a large text file containing important email info that can be quickly searched, SORTed, extracted, searched and examined etc...

A subset containing:
====================
Date time of each email
Sender Id
Subject: info
First and Last (50 characters) of the email message. (salutation and closing details)
For a total of 200 to 300 characters per record - easily SORTable and small.
====================
Multiply that by 11,000,000 (the number of e-mails) for file size.

Have the option of downloading the file or View it on the host Cloud Site...

Being able to search this Email data in 1 or more files would be a great start for anyone interested in the Panama Files.

SECOND! Pictures and Images. Let people randomly peruse these images.. Because People are nosey..

Give users the option of creating a wiki like document for each image file and what emails they may be associated with. Come on we want names and details. People out there know far more than what's in the existing data horde.

Along the way we'll be creating a massive wiki like record base of links, videos, pictures for a more thorough Panama Papers investigation.

NOTE: There are files and video formats that this App does not deal with. BUT those specific file types
can be randomly selected and passed through the CLIPBOARD to another App that can handle, play / display them.

Investigators can search this huge library of info, only downloading those relatively few specific records for viewing or storing?

Why aren't we seeing something similar? This Cloud System could be Up in a few days. What's up? Is there data hoarding, redacting going on?

 

To get things going I'd do a random upload of each file type they have. ie put 1000 or so different pdf files to a folder, so the people can get cracking on this info.

Change them out every day or two. When something of interest is discovered then do an extract for those specific items.

We the people want to know more...
