Move CKAN codebase to use sqlalchemy (rather than sqlobject) along with vdm v0.2.

NB: the upgrade itself should not be too hard, the work will be in providing a satisfactory migration script to convert existing data on ckan.net service.

Move ckan trac to new ckan.org location. Will also need to re-enable user accounts etc.

Move existing getdata/cospread.py into dgu repo and use the importer/loader mechanism.

Move the solr SearchBackend? to a seperate code base, remove any mentions of the CKAN model.

Much more natural place to do this, even at the risk of overloading the package edit form.

Multiple ONS records can go into one package e.g. Stats for Jan, Stats for Feb, Stats for Mar etc.

We already identify an existing package by 'external_id'. Now need to find package by title and an extra field (department in ONS case) and allow it to merge in resource and tags. Alert if rest of meta data is different.

Must not alter the db.

Related to ticket:112.

Native login scenario: Complete login form, require email address. Any session is resumed.

Mandated technical requirement: use Repoze (see plugin:form of repoze.who); borrow from BlastOff?.

See CKAN or Microfacts for usage of repose with openid.

Need a central up to date place for currently supported extensions (closest we have is ​http://wiki.ckan.org/List_of_Extensions) & their documentation. I suggest this gets added to a dedicated section of docs.ckan.org

Need better documentation on best practices in making page loads faster for non logged in users.

Need instructions on the group page to tell people they need to login to create a group. Someone must have deleted this.

Need some changes to pip-requirements files in release branches.

Need to add JS (presumably?) to the related app box on dataset page: ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/dataset/gold-prices to allow user to scroll through when multiple related items exist

Need to add extension point to change the data_dict that passed to the dataset view template. This extensions modify what data gets shown.

Tasks include:

• Fix up data_dict and templates so that the pkg objects do not get used in the templates. This is to assure that all data passed is modifiable. (2d) (complete)
• Add extension point to Ipackage controller (1d)
• Test (1d)

Need to be able to build a distribution. Need:

• new 'build' command
• specify distribution format. Suggest at the moment a simple zip or tar.gz build in most straightforward way form distribution.

Need to cover pip-requirements.txt on different branches in the doc/deployment.rst.

Also could do with tidying up upgrade.txt into this document too.

Need to ensure config options in the deployment.ini_tmpl match up with doc/configuration.rst. Remove any unused ones too.

Need to investigate alternative payment gateways

Need to make sure #700 is fixed.

Need to setup server in tenforce test server.

Need to write custom harvesters for each client. Is it worth having one for data hub?

Needed to support automated deployment more easily.

Est: 15m

Needs tests for error conditions for bad locale and redirect parameters.

Needs to delete all harving jobs and harvested documents, and probably to purge all packages (perhaps just delete?).

New domain object: PackageRelationship? (revisioned)

Attributes:

• subject (Package reference)
• object (Package reference)
• type (string)
• comment

Relationship type values: depends_on (dependency_of) derives_from (has_derivation) child_of (parent_of)

Relationship type is stored as a string, as given in the first column. The reverse relationship (bracketed) is given just for display purposes only.

Subject / Object - as in a sentence: "Dracos is derived from OSM" is <subject> <predicate> <object>. We'll use 'type' instead of 'predicate' as that is a more familiar word.

New form should allow three steps.

1. Add basic fields to create a dataset
2. Add a data resource to the dataset (this can be repeated multiple times using "Save and add another"
3. Add final metadata to the dataset.

It should be possible to jump backward through the steps by clicking the arrows at the top. Errors in fields should be validated for each step when the next button is clicked.

Implementation:

​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/dataset/new

New recline version has significant improvements like the SlickGrid? based grid view, it'd be good to have it on 1.8.

No authz on:

• Group creation/edit/listing
• Package relationship create/edit/delete

No need for requirement - closing in favour of #505

No real need/use for this for demo/ODS yet

Not all solr facet parameters are available through the pcakage_search action. In particular, facet.sort has been asked for; but this ticket should check to see if there are other parameters that would be easy to add too.

See: ​http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters#facet.sort

Not loading for all resources as far as I can tell; e.g. ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/dataset/afghanistan-election-data/resource/f6331f99-51f6-44d9-95b9-b20f3b74f360

Fine on demo.ckan.org

Not sure where this functionality should be added, possibly in one of the sidebar widgets when editing a resource?

Ira, what are your thoughts?

Notes on the CKAN API from Aron:

• Server returns text/html for errors even when "Accept: application/json" header is set.
• DELETE package request requires a Content-Length? Should be 405 Method Not Allowed?
• Tag returned as a JSON object when updating but as a string when requesting. Same with "extras" content.
• How to remove key from "extras" object? Passing None as described in the docs is invalid JSON and using null doesn't work.
• Tags return package names rather than ids when querying GET /tag/{id}
• Doesn't return rendered_text property on package update.
• Relationships use "object" key rather than id or package_id.

Now that QA has been updated for Celery and CKAN 1.5.1, there are a number of improvements that we should probably implement.

• Integrate QA into frontend - 1d - #1583
• QA report improvements - 2.5d - #1584
• QA - Check license as part of 5 star rating - #1587
• QA - Give SPARQL endpoints a 4 star rating - #1588
• QA - Give 5 star rating to datasets with link metadata - #1589

Main pad: ​http://ckan.okfnpad.org/qa

Some QA discussion (relating to Celery in particular) at ​http://ckan.okfnpad.org/queue

Now that we have a geospatial search API, we should build a front-end that integrates with the existing search for displaying results.

Now we don't use postgres search, all the tests involving search now don't need to be skipped when running on sqlite. Should help coders spot earlier if these tests break.

Object properties:

• id (uuid)
• apikey (uuid) -- migrated from the apikey table
• name (username = openid)

/account is being renamed to /user in the wui.

Often people who are registering resources want to make the associated material available. We should:

• Provide a dedicated upload page giving instructions as to upload process
  1. Explain we don't store the data itself on CKAN. Suggest uploading to a store somewhere and then linking using download_url (that is its purpose)
  2. Upload to
     • Talis CC for RDF
     • archive.org
     • grid.okfn.org
• link to this page from next to download_url item on new package page

In long run (now ticket:186) we may automate this by providing a ckan upload facility which caches the data and then reuploads it to relevant service (disadvantage is "we" are the owner of the data on that service ...)

On a package page there are three buttons to the right - View, Edit, History. Each of these buttons contain an icon and the text, but you can only activate the button by clicking on the icon. When you click on the part of the button where the text is (about 50% of the button) then nothing happens.

Using: Chrome, Firefox

On ckan.net 1.3.1b, click on "Search" in the Navigator. Now both "Search" and "New Package" are highlighted.

On ckan.net there are plenty of packages (and indeed their tags) with the word 'statistic' in them, but no packages turn up when you search for it:

​http://ckan.net/package/search?q=statistic&search=Search+Packages+%C2%BB

(Using Postgres full text search)

On each package page in the openness field if the package is not open provide a link to is it open create enquiry page.

Details:

• may want to add to the url a query parameter indicating which package this relates to e.g. ?ckan-package=...
• ​http://isitopen.ckan.net/enquiry/create/?ckan-package=...
• do we provide link even if package is open (e.g. so that people can make enquiries about e.g. adding open data/content buttons ...)

Cost: 0.5h

On harvest page: ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/harvest the checkbox appears above the text and not clear what it refers to/

Beter to relocate to the left (as on publicdata.eu) see screenshots attached.

On its current version, ckanext-harvest passed a custom schema to package_create and package_update to allow defining an id for new packages (the same as in remote ckan instances) [1]

Recent changes in the logic layer have made that the context object is no longer directly read from the context, but only get from plugins [2]. This makes the schema sent from ckanext-harvest to be ignored and the harvesting fails because the id field is not expected

ValidationError: {'Id': u'The input field id was not expected.'}

We need a way to either:

1. Be more flexible accepting schemas on the logic functions
2. Modify the harvester plugin to implement the necessary interface

[1] ​https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-harvest/blob/master/ckanext/harvest/harvesters/base.py#L115

[2] ​https://github.com/okfn/ckan/blob/0c07d3be846777318b35c31325215dff00e99313/ckan/logic/action/create.py#L38

On registering a new account, if you try to use a capital letter in your 'Login', you get the unhelpful error message:

"The form contains invalid entries: Name: Url must be purely lowercase alphanumeric (ascii) characters and these symbols: -_"

What does 'Name' or 'Url' have to do with anything? It means 'Login must be ...'

But even better would be to make the login case-insensitive and allow capitals to be entered.

On some occasions (apparently random), the documents indexed in a specific SOLR core get mixed with different site_ids.

E.g: We look for all documents in the testing.iatiregistry.org core, faceted by site_id. We would expect all documents to have site_id = iati_testing, but some of them have site_id = iatiregistry.org

​http://okfn-solr.fry-it.com:8080/solr/testing.iatiregistry.org/select?indent=on&version=2.2&q=*:*&fq=+state:active&facet=true&facet.field=site_id

<lst name="facet_fields">
<lst name="site_id">
<int name="iati_testing">265</int>
<int name="iatiregistry.org">255</int>
</lst>
</lst>

If we compare one of the records which disappeared from the "iati_testing" site_id in both the production and testing SOLR cores of the server, the records are exactly the same, including the indexed_ts property:

​http://okfn-solr.fry-it.com:8080/solr/iatiregistry.org/select?indent=on&version=2.2&q=id:97d1ab0d-b203-4757-8f4e-a0c84d2f759f&facet=true&facet.field=site_id

​http://okfn-solr.fry-it.com:8080/solr/testing.iatiregistry.org/select?indent=on&version=2.2&q=id:97d1ab0d-b203-4757-8f4e-a0c84d2f759f&facet=true&facet.field=site_id

Note that the response from the URLs shown may vary, as the testing site could have been reindexed.

On the CKAN home page there is no suggestion that you can add or register a dataset. The 'Register a dataset' option has been removed at some point! (only visible to users that have registered - why would they do that when the benefits aren't described?)

On the add resource forms new or existing dataset
