CKAN Javascript library and demonstration web interface

[rgrp]

A plain javascript library for interfacing with CKAN would be very useful (why? see below!). It would also be nice to have a pure html + javascript web interface to CKAN both for its own sake and to act as a demonstrator for the library.

Why?

• Development of bespoke interfaces -- much easier to edit html + javascript than to change ckan core
  • E.g. for specific communities e.g. geodata, science
  • Specialized tasks - multi-package editing
• Very easy deployment and integration (e.g. can drop in to getthedata or other sites)

Have now started refactor to use backbone and have basic inline editing working and started on Add dataset view.

Converted completely to backbone and now have fully-operational add dataset functionality. I'm closing this ticket now - further improvements can be in there own tickets.
