Thanks. Having looked at the code, it is clearly work in progress (which 
is what it is advertised as). Given that we only need a subset of the 
functionality (only one type of job, no need for authentication, etc.) 
it will be simpler for us to implement our own service provider. When a 
stable ckan service provider comes along it should be straightforward 
for us to port our code along should we wish to.

Thanks,
Alice
