[ckan-dev] Resource Type and Supporting Documentation

Tue Mar 26 19:02:34 UTC 2013

Hi Ian,

It seems you're on the right track. If the documentation you're thinking
about adding are "downloadable" files, like a PDF for the data dictionary,
etc., it might be easier to use FileStore (
http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/filestore.html).

Cheers,
Vítor Baptista.
