[ckan-dev] Community Interest for a strong dashboarding functionnality

[Steven De Costa]

Hi Vincent,

As David has mentioned it is pretty easy to build visualisation options on
top of CKAN. Establishing an approach supported by a extension(s) sounds
good to me.

I spoke with the folks behind data.gov.sg about their code and working with
them on something which supports the approach seen on home, dataset and
group pages in that portal.

I think we need to introduce a feature for user curation which I think
could be nicely done via a bookmarking use case. Bookmark collections could
then be used as a basis for telling visual stories with dataset resources.
One view for such visual stories could be achieved as a dashboard.

So, the first extension I'm planning to develop is bookmarks... I need to
fit it in with client work but will start the documentation for user
stories this week.

Cheers,
Steven
