Phase One: Discovery of Primary Sources
Build upon the work of other people to create a directory of primary sources and accompanying reporting:-
- Electronic Freedom Foundation: A table linking to primary sources and reporting [EFF]
- Courage Foundation: A collection of weblog pages linking to primary sources and reporting [CF]
- Reddit r/NSALeaks: A wiki document linking to primary sources and reporting [r/NSALeaks]
- Tranparency Toolkit: Data extracted from primary sources [TT/NSA]
- Al Jazeera Timeline of Edward Snowden Revelations: covering 2013 [AJ/ESTimeline]
The original idea was to combine the information from these sources into one master directory, but this proved difficult for a number of reasons. It was decided to use these sources to seed a manual review of the reporting and to build the directory using a mixture of code and human intelligence. The methodology is outlined in METHODOLGY.
