I'd really like to see a crawler for keeping track of the relationships
between professional athletes and the teams that they play for. The
information is readily available from a wide range of sources but
changes periodically throughout the year depending on which sport
you're following. I think that updating these relationships by hand
would be rather tedious task for a human but can easily done by a
screen-scraping crawler. Just having the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and PGA
would provide a lot of opportunity for mashups.<br>

I'm a coder with some time on his hands, a penchant for screen-scraping
and data transforming, and a deep ideological agreement with putting
data into a convenient form for easy access.<br>
<br>
Know databases that need to be imported into Freebase? I'd like to
contribute.
