[ckan-dev] The showcase extension

Fri May 26 06:18:50 UTC 2017

I was maintaining the showcase extension, but I'm not currently working on
CKAN, and don't have an active development environment set up for testing
showcase against recent CKAN releases.

There are a couple of Pull Requests pending review, and it would be great
if someone could take over maintenance of the extension and do a PyPI
release. It shouldn't be too much work.

Does this sound like something Link Digital are interested in, Steven?
