What I did arose from a CKAN Skype telecon a whileback; I offered to
create that void import service (somehow as part of the LATC work I
was doing at Talis) with the vague idea that it could be hosted
somewhere, and thedatahub front end  could make use of it somehow.

Do you have any ideas on the best way for thedatahub to incorporate
this functionality (based on either mine, Tim's, or some new code)?
And what requirements are there for this to happen? (language,
framework, testing?)

I could imagine, for instance, a form, as part of the create and/or
edit dataset page(s) that lets the user enter a dataset URI, and
passes along the user's API key (with a hidden form field) and POSTs
to my PHP service, which then redirects the user to the dataset page.

Cheers,

Keith
