[ckan-dev] package_show draft

Mon Apr 28 16:37:17 UTC 2014

Do we like the current dataset draft behaviour?

I'm working on simplifying the dataset creation form and I'm
considering removing the draft state completely at the same time. The
only down side seems to be that users can create datasets without
resources that are visible immediately. This is already possible via
the API.

The up sides are no more confusion about permissions with draft
datasets, no more forgotten half-complete datasets, no more draft
datasets blocking a dataset with the same url (name) from being
created.
