[OT] Urgent! AntiBiometric law campaign needs your help!

WE NEED A LAMP HACKER (can be perl, php, whatever).

After getting shouted at, I try to separate politics from FOSS, but
here's one where we really need the community.

The knesset has a page that shows which MKs are in and out of the
building:
http://www.knesset.gov.il/presence/heb/PresentList.aspx

we already extract that info, it's annoying but doable:
http://no2bio.n2b.org/

The campaign is also keeping a list of the MKs on a googledocs
spreadsheet that lists the MKs that are for or against the law. We need
someone who can take the two lists (Google will export as CSV or XLS, I
think) and make up a script that can cross the lists, tally and show if
the people currently in the building give a majority for or against the
law.

If you care to help us hack something together, please write me in
person and I'll make sure you have access to the info needed, and access
to a server to host the scripts.

Thanks in advance!
Ira, and the anti-biometric DB campaign.
