[ckan-dev] CKAN extensions

[Nigel Babu]

Hi Aaron,

The datastorer page explains a little more about extension:
https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-datastorer

As Ryan mentioned, searching on http://github.com/okfn for "ckanext-" lists
pretty much all the CKAN extensions that have been worked on by the core
team at OKF.

By repo_info you probably mean the ckanext-repo[1] extension. It was
written for the master and beta CKAN instances that we have for testing.
This plugin shows the last commit hash, title of the commit, and URL to
GitHub for the commit.  wms_preview is part of the spatial extension[2] and
is used for previewing resources in the wms[3] format.

I hope these answer your questions.
