[ckan-dev] UI/UX: Deleting packages on CKAN

[Jonathan Gray]

At the moment to delete a package you have to go to 'state' and change
from 'active' to 'deleted'.

For me this was not very obvious, and someone recently wrote to me
about this too.

Its a small issue - but unless you know what 'state: active' refers
to, its not obvious what this means, nor that this is where to go if
you want to delete a package.

>From UI perspective this could be replaced by either a trash can or
some text that says 'delete', perhaps with some prompt that explains
what happens when you delete a package - explaining that non-admins
won't be able to see it, and how you purge, etc.

Just a thought!
