[ckan-dev] Blurb on previewing

Thu Apr 26 11:37:34 UTC 2012

Hi Mark,

I've just developed a new feature (for 1.7) that allows the data explorer
preview to be embedded into third-party sites, similar to what's offered on
openspending [1].  It'd be good to get a quick description of this added
when we deploy 1.7 in a few weeks time.
