White House Will Post Visitor Logs Online
Submitted by jajacobs on Fri, 2009-09-04 14:05.
On September 3, the Obama administration and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) settled four ongoing cases regarding public access to White House visitor records. As a result, for the first time in history records of White House visitors will be released. President Obama issued a statement saying that each month, records of visitors from the previous 90-120 days will be made available online.

Collecting visitor logs
I wonder if this information is going to show up on data.gov? Or perhaps opensecrets.org? I think the information will be that much more powerful if it's collected and queryable to see long-term trends.
