[ckan-dev] CKAN releases?

[David Read]

Cheers Toby. Some potentially useful refactoring in there and other
useful things for the developers. And here's my summary of the major
features as the user will see it:

1.8
 * Users can 'follow' a dataset
 * An activity feed on each user page
( See Changelog here: https://github.com/okfn/ckan/blob/master/CHANGELOG.txt )

2.0
 * New UI
 * Runs a bit faster
