What's bad at the moment?

Resulting meta-ticket with things to do: ticket:927

Reported by Stiivi, 3 years ago.

In Slovakia users are expecting from sites to be able to search without typing accents, for example if they do not have SK keyboard, just US. For example searching for: 'Obyvateľstvo' and 'obyvatelstvo' (population) or 'štatistika' and 'statistika' (statistics) should yield same results.

This should work the other way around as well, as some people might enter entries without accents into CKAN instance and others might search with accents.

For SK language simple ASCII transliteration for searched term and indexed words is sufficient (iconv ASCIITRANSLIT).

As a user I want to preview a dataset ('resource') before downloading it.

Implementation

This will be implemented as an Extension

NB: This ticket requires a way to get data out of a remote url (the dataset). We do not want to put this data load/streaming into ckan core due to a) complexity b) load problems (do not want to take ckan out by accidentally pulling in a 1GB file)

1. Need a 'data proxy' - see ticket:698 and ticket:888
2. Preview using javascript in WUI - do this in an extension ​http://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckanext-dataapi
