Description
Users could write ckan extensions that offer previews for a certain datatype.
Advantages:
- We can say that you can add your own previews
- Every preview would have to define it's own dependencies
- External development (community creates new extensions?)
Questions to answer:
- Specification
- Precedence
- Plugins only define the datatype that they are responsible for or do we call a function that returns whether the extension is responsible.
As far as I can see, this should be fairly easy to implement by following these instructions: http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/writing-extensions.html#writing-a-plugin-interface
