[ckan-dev] Dev Challenge 2011

Wed Jun 8 13:14:38 UTC 2011

Hi Lucy,

Sounds like there is not enough in place to demo anything by tomorrow
- but I will email Mahendra now and ask if they will accept a post
that outlines the plan to get PyDap integrated into CKAN. If they
will, then I am happy to co-write with Flavio. If not, then we should
just by-pass this one, and keep an eye out for future opportunities!
