Allow uploading of files to push the data into webstore. Initially we were going to suggest changes to ckanext-storage but after further analysis we arrived at the conclusion that this should be implemented by ckanext-archiver as it already handles archiving of data from various sources and would be the best place to 'archive' to webstore.

1. A user wants to upload a file to CKAN, and so chooses the file upload option as they do currently with ckanext-storage. The file upload itself should be handled by this code internal to core (see #1608) but still using ofs [5d]

2. The user is provided the link to the file as currently.

3. The archiver's update task will check configuration to determine if it should upload some mime-types (tabular formats) to webstore. Configuration should also determine where webstore is. (see #1609) [5d] - took 6

• It should be stored in webstore using {username}/{resource-id} where {username} is the name of the user uploading the original file.

4. The archiver will continue to move the file into permanent storage as per current practice.

Add a way to share datasets and see mentions of datasets on twitter (and elsewhere)

As a visitor I want to share a link to a dataset I have found. I also want to see how many others have shared this (or mentioned it).

• Sharing platform: simplest option is probably twitter but could generalize to e.g. sharethis system which supports, facebook, twitter etc etc.
  • Will need a config option for relevant API key e.g. ckan.sharethis.apikey
• Location: Put this at top of sidebar on dataset view (a better suggsetion?)
• Should show how many mentions / shares there are. (very important!)

Discussion

• (Tom and Ira and ...): do we really want this, versus e.g. proper follow extension?
• What about bringing conversation back in to CKAN. E.g. show all times this dataset (i.e. its url) was mentioned on twitter. If we do this I think this should be definite +1.
• Also, given our users, I think just doing twitter (identica) may be sufficient (how many people want to share links to datasets on facebook?)

It would be great to have a CKAN extension that allowed users (or CKAN itself) to generate short links to other URIs (both internal and external). Once created, shortlinks made by CKAN should be changeable. This would allow uploaded content to be moved without the user's link changing at all. The tool itself might also be of use as a general link-shortener to users other than the CKAN system itself.

Another useful feature would be for this to also collect some simple analytics such as the referrer and client IP for future reference. I'm not yet sure what we would do with the analytics other than some sort of popularity metric.

• Core, or Extension, or Self-hosted?
