[ckan-dev] Default CKAN distribution

[Seb Bacon]

Hi,

My point was rather that we should have the concept of a standard
useful CKAN install, which is core CKAN + some extensions.  We are
ending up with a number of extensions that I would consider core to
everyday use.

If we did it all with debs then the question would be, would there be
a package called "ckan-standard" which installed "ckan-core" and
"ckan-googleanalytics" and so on...?  Or...?
