In the presentation of data packages, the link in "The information on this page and the downloads / resources are also available using the datapkg command line utility." (​http://knowledgeforge.net/ckan/doc/datapkg/install.html) ends up at the home page of ckan.org

Perhaps link it to ​https://bitbucket.org/okfn/datapkg/overview for now, to save some searching for people who want to find out more?

PDEU has a newer layout which could be adapted to also be used on ckan.net. For this, things should be cleaned up, copied to the ckanext-ckan.net repo as needed and re-colored the core CKAN color scheme.

Maybe we could have this coincide with a CKAN rename?

We need an email function in CKAN to accept messages sent to users. The basic signature will be:

• mail_user(user_obj, subject, body, mime_type='text/plain', headers={})

This has a number of use cases:

• Retrieval of lost passwords
• E-Mail confirmation

Finally, the mail function should be exposed in the API for sysadmin clients. This way we can have scripts traverse CKAN for 404s, invalid data or missing fields and ping users about that automatically (requires traversal by revision, not package, to get the associated users).

Implementation

Note we have already written code like this (*and* tested it) in isitopen:

• ​https://bitbucket.org/okfn/isitopen/src/bb2cbd146fa5/isitopen/lib/mailer.py
• ​https://bitbucket.org/okfn/isitopen/src/bb2cbd146fa5/isitopen/tests/lib/test_mailer.py
