| 2 | | |
| 3 | | The CKAN codebase is open source so that different organisations can customise it for their own needs. As CKAN has grown in popularity it has become |
| 4 | | especially important to organise the code in a way that can accommodate the customisations which different organisations require without those changes |
| 5 | | interfering with customizations required by other organisations. |
| 6 | | |
| 7 | | To meet this need we have introduced the concepts of CKAN extensions, plugin interfaces and workers. These work together to provide a simple mechanism to |
| 8 | | extend core CKAN functionality. '''Full documentation of these features for developers can be found here: http://packages.python.org/ckan/plugins.html''' |
| 9 | | |
| 10 | | If you create a new extension, please document it here. Implementations of plugin interfaces should be documented separately on the [wiki:Plugins Plugins] page. |
