[ckan-dev] "Data Package" specification page

Mon Jul 4 16:06:08 UTC 2011

Hi Rufus and all,

I've made a short page on the CKAN wiki to propose some changes to
datapkg that I would consider simplifications of the tool. These
relate less to the standard than to the software but at the moment my
feeling is that we should concentrate on use value rather than
standardization.

Let me know what you think!
