A new library, ​guiders.js, has been open sourced that seems to be great at unobtrusively introducing new users to features of websites.

The library drives Optimizely's website. The GitHub repo is here: ​https://github.com/jeff-optimizely/Guiders-JS

Some examples:

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

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?
