#1014: Decouple oAuth repoze extension from DataNO, write tests

sebbacon — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 10:04:53 GMT

The current oAuth extension tightly couples repoze.who, ckan, and data.no. These components should be decoupled; they also need more tests

#904: Review CKAN documentation

Stiivi — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 11:43:30 GMT

What's bad at the moment?

lack of documentation e.g. config (very poorly documented)
too many sources of documentation
no common theming

Sources:

#994: document a new migration methodology

kindly — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 09:39:52 GMT

It is too easy to make a mistake with the migrations at the moment. A more systematic way of doing them is needed and this needs to be documented.

#999: Factor out ckan.net theme changes to a separate theme repo and apply

dread — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 14:58:49 GMT

Rather than polluting the ckan core code base on ckan.net install with ckan.net specific changes these adaptations should be moved out into a dedicated ckan.net theme.

#1000: Remove call timings code

rgrp — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 19:34:03 GMT

Not used and extra overhead. Very useful to strip this out and low cost.

Places where it seems to be:

lib/base.py: c.time_call_started
....

#1003: CKAN Javascript library and demonstration web interface

rgrp — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 19:41:26 GMT

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)

#1011: Make pluggable AuthzGroups implementation

sebbacon — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 15:14:17 GMT

I have a requirement to allow an external source to define the groups of which a user is a member.

I propose to create an IAuthzUserGroups plugin interface that allows an extension to arbitrarily extend the list of AuthzGroups? that a user is in.

#1015: Editing group gives exception

dread — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 13:09:48 GMT

Editing a group properties on ckan.net gives an exception when you submit the form. (Is this related to db migration issues?)

Example page: http://ckan.net/group/edit/civil-society

Exception:

WebApp Error: <class 'sqlalchemy.exc.IntegrityError'>: (IntegrityError) duplicate key value violates unique constraint "group_revision_pkey" 'INSERT INTO group_revision (id, name, title, description, created, state, revision_id, continuity_id) VALUES (%(id)s, %(name)s, %(title)s, %(description)s, %(created)s, %(state)s, %(revision_id)s, %(continuity_id)s)' {'description': u"A group for open data related to civil society supported by members of the interest group at: http://okfn.org/groups/civil-society\r\n\r\nCivil society is composed of the totality of voluntary civic and social organizations and institutions that form the basis of a functioning society, as distinct from the force-backed structures of a state (regardless of that state's political system) and commercial institutions of the market. \r\n\r\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_society", 'created': datetime.datetime(2011, 2, 24, 14, 30, 53, 334842), 'title': u'Civil Society', 'state': u'active', 'continuity_id': u'f4f9f09

#1018: Remove gov form

dread — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 13:28:36 GMT

(It has been moved into ckanext-dgu)

#1019: Webhooks notification service

pudo — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 15:39:44 GMT

We propose the following push approach using individual packages:

New, updated and deleted packages are pushed to a url endpoint on Wordpress (WPURL). This endpoint will be a configuration option on the CKAN side. A POST or PUT http method will get used. The payload will be a json document of the following form:

{

payload: The entity data as available from the REST API entity-type: 'Package', operation-type: 'create'|'update'|'delete' # one of these options

}

It will be sent as the body of the request with content-type set to application/json.

The wordpress side will provide a 200 on success. Any other response will be taken as a failure. On failure, submission will be archived and failure logged and notified to system administrator. Submission can be resent later automatically by sysadmin after review.

Pushes will happen continuously and approximately simultaneously with updates (a webhooks type model)

[optional] CKAN side will support configuring authorization for basic authentication if applied on WP side.

[optional] List queue status (including failures) on ckan adminstrative dashboard.

#1021: Config option to disable OpenID

pudo — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 10:15:20 GMT

HRI don't like federation, want to login normal way only. Make this a config option and perhaps even mess with runtime repoze config

#1022: Error reporting in CKAN worker API

pudo — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 10:17:27 GMT

Report on errors by any worker daemons, send them out via E-Mail

#1024: Lock down all controller actions in CKAN

pudo — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 10:23:48 GMT

When a user visits the site, he/she may only see a login box.

#1025: Default authz can be set in config

dread — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:55:10 GMT

Currently the default authz for a package is hard-coded to:

 <PackageRole user="visitor" role="editor" context="Package">,
 <PackageRole user="logged_in" role="editor" context="Package">,

This should be configurable in the config, so that you can have a more locked down instance etc.

#1026: cli for creating users

dread — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 17:17:32 GMT

It's handy to be able to create users using the cli (e.g. dgu migration)

#1027: Authorization checks on all controller actions

pudo — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 10:24:16 GMT

We want to have authz checks on all controller actions so that we can lock down CKAN to a login-only mode.

#1028: Open redirect in locale setting

dread — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 12:24:43 GMT

#1029: synchronous search erroring when harvesting is run.

kindly — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 14:45:37 GMT

Errors are caused when harvesting documents. This also makes the count not show up correctly on the ckan search page.

#427: Match licenses from GEMINI document

dread — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 10:36:51 GMT

examples of posting a new package
example license_id - explain

#801: Get/Set last harvested time for a given harvest source

johnbywater — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 13:52:26 GMT

Implies that last harvested time must be stored on source by harvesting job (see #802).
