This was taken from the UX pad. I'm looking at it now to make sure that it's working and that we can use it on the new dataset view page. Is it really a good idea to move it to core though? There was no reason given on the pad so I'm not sure why this should be moved to core?

With the cron job setup, maybe this is best left as an extension. The core CKAN was designed to be mean and lean.

This ticket again brought up the issue of a need for inversion of control for writing to CKAN templates (main templates should really ask extensions for data or provide hooks rather than having extensions overwrite sections using genshi/jquery). Have decided to defer this issue for now, as it will be looked at when looking at making our whole extension system more robust early next year.

Related point:

We should provide a dashboard area (again via interfaces/hooks) that groups together report data from related extensions. So stats and googleanalytics info should be available from a similar area / url. This is also deferred until the extension overhaul/refactor.

Other outstanding issues:

Location / style of download count can be improved
Download count should be shown on resource pages

These should be looked at by whoever takes over frontend design.
