[ckan-dev] Dataset relationships feature: do you use it? would like to?

Mon Apr 30 14:04:54 UTC 2018

Hi,
Actually there is an extension that adds a UI for relationships.
It's this: http://extensions.ckan.org/extension/lire/

While I've installed this extension, I've had limited success making it
work.
It's encouraging to see recent commits on the repo.

I am using CKAN relationships to link packages together, and consider it an
essential feature.
I use the ckanapi extension on the command-line as my main interface to the
feature.

I'd be willing to contribute to resolving the cited issue, as long as
there's no hard deadline.
