Action API needs JSONP support - be able to return responses encapsulated in a function of a supplied name. This is important for remote sites running javascript to interact with a CKAN site.

Specifying the callback parameter is the way we've achieved JSONP with the RESTful and Search APIs. It should work like this:

curl http://test.ckan.net/api/action/package_show?callback=jsoncallback -d '{"id": "fd788e57-dce4-481c-832d-497235bf9f78"}'

Or maybe the callback should be specified in the payload in the context or data_dict?

(My understanding is that CORS is similar - when more browsers support it, can we drop JSONP?)

paster db load ckan.pgdump will load in the database but not update the search index, no we're using SOLR.

We can't tack on 'rebuild' to this command, because it needs a 'db upgrade' first. I'm tempted to make 'db load' do the upgrade and rebuild all in one command.

Using local image rather than the same image at assets.okfn.org reduces dependency on another server that may be down, slow or remote. James agrees.
