[ckan-dev] CKANClient-J (+ an introduction)

Mon Apr 15 15:55:51 UTC 2013

Andrew, Ross,

I'm the third fork on https://github.com/okfn/CKANClient-J/network

I updated build.xml to living dependency URLs, implemented DatasetRevision (via gson), added some comments, and tweaked some styling.
FWIW, [1] is currently motivating my changes to ckanclient-j.

I'm happy to discuss how to align our efforts so that we can merge back into Ross', if he finds it acceptable.

Should these discussions be on this list, or should we take it off list?

Regards,
Tim Lebo

I think there is another fork of the client containing a few patches, so it'd be great if you could merge those in too.

As much as I like REST I’m also liking the RPC departure in the version 3 API.
