(a) Forms refactor (package done, end bits of group. Next step:
harvesting. =A0Then the data.gov.uk one.)

(b) UKLP stands for the UK Location Programme it is a multi-million
pound initiative to get geospatial data searchable by location on the
data.gov.uk site. OKF successfully delivered Discovery Metadata
harvesting on 14th March and we got the first data publishers using
the system last week. By the 9th May we had over 600 datasets
harvested into data.gov.uk. A new release is planned for the end of
May. We hope to be rolling out the same geo-spatial and
catalogue-interoperability functionality for CKAN itself before too
long so that others can make use of it too.

Ongoing discussion from the Mailing Lists:

(a) [ckan-dev] It is important to have a list of
installed CKANs and preferably an admin contact, check-in proposal:

bniemannsr: I have tried to collaborate with OASIS E-Gov, CKAN,
SEMIC.EU Web Site& =A0ADMS Community, ePractice, and UDEF for this
SEMIC.EU presentation

Resolution: We agreed that once we had our "minimum interoperable
subset" spec we'd get back to him to compare with him about a phase 2.

Best wishes,
