[ckan-dev] Enforcing a custom schema.

Wed Dec 19 13:17:33 UTC 2012

Hi Knud,

This is a very helpful tip, I'll look into that.  I think there is
also some good stuff hiding inside ckanext-odg, I'll be looking at
that today.  I'd be happy to share any information I find. Are you on
IRC by any chance  (#ckan)

Thanks,

Peder Jakobsen
