[ckan-dev] Dev Challenge 2011

Wed Jun 8 12:32:10 UTC 2011

Hi Mark,

I'm not sure if you have seen this answer below but Flavio might be
willing to co-write an entry for the competition. I haven't heard back
from any members of the team but wondered whether you knew enough to
possibly help Flavio put something together - it only need be short
right?

@ All - anyone interested in quickly putting something together as a
team effort?

Lucy
