[ckan-dev] organization_show and package_search - 2 questions

Mon Aug 15 20:33:07 UTC 2016

I'm working on fixing package_search so that it can return private
datasets [1]. As you've noted the story for private datasets and the
API isn't all that great right now.

[1]: https://github.com/ckan/ckan/pull/3191

If you've got time to help review this change that would be much appreciated!
