If we're going to move to a consuming-our-own-API model, then that's going to benefit from an object caching system. Inevitably, that means Memcached or/or [ElastiCache](http://aws.amazon.com/elasticache/). ElastiCache has the advantage of...
It would be great to have some kind of an opt-in mechanism to allow State Decoded sites to share their data with a central server. I can imagine a ping...
Set up The State Decoded on an EC2 server and use that EBS to provide [an AMI in the AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/). That'll make it trivial for people to try out...
Some legal codes (e.g., San Francisco) are actually a series of smaller legal codes, each codified separately. They might have different structures, in theory they might even use different section...
Some methods return the output of the method (e.g., `return $text`), while others only return success or failure (e.g., `return TRUE`) and provide the output as an object property (e.g.,...
The [OpenDyslexic font](http://opendyslexic.org/get-it-free/) could make laws significant more accessible to a big chunk of the population. It's conceptually easy to give people this as an option, but it's dependent on...
Incorporate [the Virginia Crime Code Listings](http://www.scb.virginia.gov/LIDSinformation/vccsearch_result.cfm) into Virginia Decoded. This allows the display of court guidelines for punishment for the violation of a law or a subsection of a law....
The importance of each section can be determined relative to all other sections. For instance, one simple metric is the measure of how many times each section is mentioned in...
It's great that people can add custom functions to `class.[State].inc.php`, but there's no way for them to invoke those functions without making modifications to core files. There need to be...
Now that we're exporting JSON files to `/downloads/code-json/`, it's possible for us to serve responses to queries to the API's law method with virtually no hit to system resources. It...
