Should not be hard to do (lots of existing libraries) but not sure that this is very important.

Should return help for the harvester (currently crashes).

Similar to publicdata.eu, want to have themed areas such as finance, environment, census, etc and country tags

Simon has spotted 31 packages whose resources have disappeared in CKAN, but still appear in the Drupal front-end.

Here are the details:

• in CKAN's package view (in web interface, API and dump) no resources display
• but they WERE created in CKAN, as shown by the revision diffs.
• they are in the Drupal front-end

So these resources must have been in the CKAN API at some point and then disappeared without trace/revision to alert Drupal.

Simple widgets in pure JS. For example:

• Count of datasets in a group (could generalise to a query but not sure how useful that is ...)
• Embeddable list of top X (5) datasets for a given query
• Embeddable list of *my* datasets

Either these live at: {site}/widgets and we have some kind of generator (form where I choose my group, or my query).

Or: we have this attached to areas of site where relevant.

Can combine the 2 so that the latter links to the former. Think first will be easier to do and possibly more useful long-term (e.g. can just link people to that page).

Cf. ​http://okfnlabs.org/ckanjs/

Since admins can see deleted datasets - there should be a way for them a) to know they are currently deleted & not viewable by normal users - ticket: #2779 b) way to undelete such datasets - this ticket

I suggest a button on the edit form instead of the delete button i.e. remove normal delete button with 'deleted dataset, only admins can view' with undelete button next to the message?

Since my last pull I'm getting a strange new error which is presumably to do with my local config or assumptions about the storage extension.

Test output here: ​https://gist.github.com/2007985

Since the main menu items have changed (part of the UI redesign) the selected items are not functioning correctly.

Specifically if Home / About or Add Package / Search are selected both menu items are highlighted.

This is because the code assumes only one top-level menu item per controller.

Since we now require email addresses, it's sensible to request users' gravatars to add a little flavour to their user profile (and, potentially, other places eg. comments threads?)

Since we upgraded to new vdm (v0.4) which has built in purge support existing purge support looks to be broken. Should be reasonably easy to fix this.

So that Drupal doesn't need to make any adjustments to the form, and risk data being lost on submission.

So users can rename a tag and/or move it between vocabularies using the API.

Currently we have create_tag() and delete_tag(), but if you were to 'update' a tag by deleting it and then recreating it all the datasets that had that tag will have lost it and you'll have to re-add it to them all.

What should happen to datasets that have the tag, if the tag gets moved between vocabularies? All the datasets just keep the tag with the new vocabulary? This will become a problem if/when we support 'radio button'-style vocabularies (where each dataset can only have one tag from the vocabulary).

Solr install instructions install the wrong version

Solutions: ResourceSeriesLoader? allows synonyms for values.

Some datasets become obsolete: e.g. ​http://datahub.io/dataset/uncdb Do not want to delete them but want them marked as archived or deprecated or something.

Some files that might be uploaded as resources on a dataset, such as some image formats, already contain metadata. For example some jpeg files might contain Exif ( ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchangeable_image_file_format ) data.

[ ] Obtain list of embedded metadata 'standards'

[ ] Where the metadata is available it should be added as extra fields on the resource that is uploaded.

[ ] HTML?

[ ] Image formats (exif/gif etc)

[ ] PDF

[ ] Eventually consider ...

[ ] MS Office documents

Some request exceptions are currently not being caught (see the celery log on thedatahub for examples)

Some strings in CKAN are passed to gettext with more than one %s in them, this is no good as translators may need to change the order of substituted words.

Strings should not use the old style % substitution, they should use the new format method in Python 2.6+, e.g.:

'This {food} is {adjective}.'.format(food='spam', adjective='absolutely horrible')

​http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.8/tutorial/inputoutput.html#fancier-output-formatting

We should probably only change strings that are marked for translation and that contain multiple %s, don't want to make too much work or cause too many strings to change and need to be re-translated.

Something to make building breadcrumbs a bit nicer

Sometimes editing a package via api on dgu results in some countries being lost in geo coverage.

Sort out how we deal with dashes versus underscores in package names.

Spam entries have started to occur on ckan.net in the last few months. It would be useful to be able to purge these revisions -- that is permanently delete all changes to domain objects associated with those revision (one might also permanently delete that revision -- or alternatively simply mark it as purged).

In addition to providing this facility from the shell it would also be useful to be able to do this from the web interface (with associated restrictions on usage via an authorization controller of some sort).

Spec - see attached, which is a copy of the Pirate Pad from Lauren: ​http://piratepad.net/2C2iwiLDhd

Specifically the 'add resource' button and the 'add item' button in related section

Split out from ticket:43

Split various jobs up into separate scripts. Change ONS importer to run remotely. Run ONS remotely. Run dump locally.

Requested by DGU.

Start a Java library for interacting with the CKAN Action API.

Currently requires support for Groups, Tags, Resources, and Search.

An example app would be very useful.

StaticURLParser can have caching - use it

Still in docs but seems gone from code

Storage is now working but there are

• Integrate with Resources (e.g. create a resource for each file upload and give option to associate with a package)
  • Should we introduce rule that files *not* associated with a Resource are periodically deleted?
• Allow setting of a file name/path before upload
• Allow for file overwriting/deleting etc (how should this work -- do we want to allow this sort of thing)
• Integrate local file upload stuff in api/auth/*

Different Backend Issues

Local file store is rather different from 'remote' storage in various ways:

• For remote you don't want to use many buckets as there are bucket limits while for local you want to. Should we there have a single path that users provide which we then partition differently for different backends.

Strapline (?): Sharing, discovery and reuse of data and content

Need to consult on this.

Cost: 1h

Sub ticket of #1294

• Initial screen just title, name, description (notes), license (and tags?).
• State that you can add data and more information on next screen. This takes you to Package 'view' where you can then do more stuff.
  • Flash some instructions? e.g. that resources are missing?
• Name slug should by default look uneditable (cf wordpress way to do the slug)

Subticket of #1294.

• Nice way to edit all resource attributes
• Nice way to add new resources
  • Including file upload (cf #878).
    • Cf work in ckanjs (this can be a straight integration).

Subticket of forms super ticket #961

Suggest form is: key:value (with optional space after ':'.

Keys would be for an object, i.e. 'package', 'tag', 'group'.

Becomes a link.

This would be implemented by implementing a 'Parser' or 'Processor' object which is run before markdown is done. Regex replace.

Cost: 4h

Suggest move this below the label and make full width of screen and only 3/4 rows high (more like a wiki site).

• Also change label to: Edit summary (Briefly describe the changes you have made)
• Remove: you can markdown formatting here.
• Move author: if you have not signed in smaller and closer (like markdown instructions are nwo).
• Change commit -> save
• Remove "please save" just have the bullet points

Suggested by Richard Cyganiak in ​http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-discuss/2012-January/001977.html

• new relationship type links_to / linked_from
  • Maybe with extra 'count' property?
• creating a new relationship should be post to the relationship register, not the source entity.
• add missing doc about creating a new relationship
• 'Model Formats' section seems to be missed out of the docs since release 1.4.2. See: ​http://readthedocs.org/docs/ckan/en/ckan-1.4.2/api/version2.html#model-formats

Suggestion from David Read:

We noticed that some search queries produce unexpected search results in CKAN, due to them containing special characters. For example if you were to search for "Spend over £25,000 - NHS Leeds" then it would not come up with the dataset with that exact name. It was excluding datasets with the word "NHS" due to the dash/minus sign. It works fine if you escape the minus sign: "Spend over £25,000 \- NHS Leeds".

So in data.gov.uk I've added escaping of such control characters in our plugin and this useful routine:

​http://fragmentsofcode.wordpress.com/2010/03/10/escape-special-characters-for-solrlucene-query/

Perhaps you would consider providing this in CKAN core in future?

I think there is an occasional case when power users would want to use the special characters - brackets, +, -, boolean operators etc. but maybe these could be reserved for an 'advanced search' screen?

Summarise final set of requirements for this and finish development and test. Estimated 10 working days.

Super #1669

As groups need to be authorised in some cases, particularly publisher profiles, we need a field to denote how this is managed.

We should add an 'approval_status' field that will be used to denote its status. By default this will be "approved" but this will allow us to override it with a "pending" or "denied" status. The latter should also change the main status of the Group.

Super #1669

Authz for the publisher admin (who has permission to administer the publisher group themselves).

Super #1669

Implement authz for sysadmins in publisher profile

Super admins & owners/creators of groups need a way to delete them

Is the auth model in place for all this stuff? May be worth sitting down and going through how this should work

Currently can change state from active to deleted - this is not ery user friendly (want a button with a 2 step process maybe?) & I'd like to know who can view this option? Everyone who can edit a group? Who can edit?

Super ticket #1744

If you edit a dataset, simply add a tag and click on "Save" then you get the message "You have unsaved changed. Make sure to click 'Save Changes' below before leaving this page." inserted whilst the submission takes place. (This is because the click moves focus away from the tag field). This (reasonably common) edge-case could usefully be squashed.

Also note typo: "unsaved changed"

Super ticket: #1032

This is a meta ticket for changes that are going to happen in resources.

• New resource group table. #956
• New kind field in resource. #957
• UI for new kind field. #958
• Resources in REST API ticket:358
• Resources in WUI #1445
• Make Resources first class entity. #922 (duplicate?)

Background on this change can be found at:

• ​http://ckan.okfnpad.org/resources - discussion etherpad
  • Contains commented version of James Gardner's main email: ​http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-discuss/2011-February/000887.html
• UseCasesResources

Super ticket: #1190

A data processing system which utilizes the Webstore. One could get a long way with simple javascript running in the browser for development with this javascript then run offline using something like nodejs. Alternatively one could allow one to specify a url to e.g. a python file which would then be run in a sandbox (with access to some specified set of python modules)

Super ticket: #1506

• Show edit summary form again, at least on edit pages (and prefill it for create to something sensible like: Creating dataset {title} {name}) [Done #1506]
• Fix drop down for resource types in resource add/edit to limit to fixed set of options (as per ​http://wiki.ckan.org/Domain_Model/Resource)
  • See also ​http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-discuss/2011-December/001860.html
• Allow reordering of resources (or: and this is somewhat more complex but possibly simpler: allow editing of a resource_order field and we use that to sort resources (this is more like wordpress page_order -- these two options could become the same if we just hijack the existing position field on the join table and get rid of ordereredlist extension)) [DONE #1506]
• Radically simplify set of licenses [DONE #1359]
• "Unsaved changes" warning briefly when you click "Save" #1735
• "Unsaved changed" typo on dataset edit page

Super ticket: #1506

e.g. ​http://thedatahub.org/user The users with Gravatar have their nice user icons, but the majority of users (without Gravatars) have 'broken link' symbols. Same problem wherever users are shown, such as the dataset history pages.

Broken on 1.5.2b - currently on thedatahub.org.
