[ckan-dev] Adding "Object Type" to deposit workflow: where to start?

[John Erickson]

Oh gods of CKAN...

As I alluded to a couple months ago, our team is modding CKAN to allow
for type-based metadata collection. This means that in the first step
of the workflow the user will select an "object type" (or "dataset
type" if you prefer) and the next page/step will present a metadata
template based on that type. I won't go into our system of type
registration, etc. at this time; if you're in Gottenberg next week,
find me... ;)

ANYWAYS: Our developer has mastered custom metadata storage and now
needs some suggestions from you more experienced types on where to
begin to assault the code for our type-based approach...

Thanks!

John
