When creating a package, the package_create logic function sends the newly created package object to all plugins implementing the IPackageController interface

​https://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckan/src/93194933ea75/ckan/logic/action/create.py#cl-64

At this point, the changes have not yet been commited and the id of the package is not set (It has a default value of make_uuid, which is set when commited). For this reason, plugins have no way of knowing the package id. E.g. the spatial query plugin needs to know this id to link the package extent to the actual package.

One possible solution would be to set the package id in the data dict received by package_create (if it's not defined):

from ckan.model.types import make_uuid
if not 'id' in data or not data['id']:
   data['id'] = make_uuid()

It is not currently possible to assign or remove groups by adding or removing their group name from the "groups" list on the REST API. This should be allowed, as it is easier than first adding a package and then editing each group it must belong to.

If a resource has both description and name the name is used. Descriptions are generally more, well, descriptive, so let's use those.
