Factor out current downloader into dedicated download subpackage, abstract interface and make it pluggable so we can have downloaders loaded as per type of resource to download.

• Also rename InstallCommand? -> DownloadCommand?

And we should support interactive retrieving of resources ...

Implementation Ideas

for resources in pkg.resources:
    # datapkg/hg 
    load_storage_handler(resource.format)

As a

user browsing a CKAN package which has a resource in a bad format

I want to

be alerted to the possibility of scraping it on scraperwiki

Implementation

This should be done in a CKAN extension. It should appear in a side-bar on the package read page.

If the package does not have a resource with scraperwiki.com in the url, then it displays this message:

Title: Scrape it
Image: (Scraperwiki dumper truck)
Body text: Could this data be in a better format? Why not use Scraperwiki to extract data from tables, Excel or PDF for everyone's benefit? You can ​request this data is scraped or even ​write the scraper yourself.

• As sysadmin/user of CKAN I want to integrate a CMS to support easy addition of additional content ...
• I want to integrate with navigation
• As a minimum I want to be able to add content pages (more stuff would be e.g. comments, sidebars, main menu ...)

Why: CMS are great at creating content and have very good editors and theme support ...

1. Rewrite urls for proxying
2. You need a theme to substitute into
3. pylons

Extreme version:

• 2 sources -> pylons/ckan app, cms
• 1 theme source: ckan or cms

1 frontend/proxy app which re-themes everything

Owned by CKAN:

• package/
• tag/
• group/
• api/
• /

Everything else proxied.
