[ckan-dev] Announcing ckanext-fileedit

ckanext-fileedit is a really (really) simple extension that lets
sysadmins edit text files on the server through the CKAN admin panel.
It's got hooks for validating file contents before they are saved and
for running custom code after files are saved.

I'm using it now to allow direct editing of a scheming dataset schema,
but it could be used to allow editing controlled lists, templates or
any other text files you choose.

The editor is just a <textarea> and a submit button but that could be
swapped out with something fancier by overridding the
fileedit/edit.html template.
