Another person who posted early, David Herzog, founder of Open Missouri, mentioned a couple things in his comment - first, he tried it at launch and wasn't successful at setting up a RSS feed for my alert. Was that a problem you were aware of?

He also mentions using the OpenStates iPad app from Sunlight and wants to know   how the features of Scout might get integrated with that. Anything you're looking into?
