[ckan-discuss] NZ catalogue + CKAN

Wed Feb 24 11:04:39 GMT 2010

Dear Glen,

Many thanks for your email: my turn to apologise about delay!

Just to say I think several people started discussing interoperability
between CKAN and Sunlight Foundation's National Data Catalogue
project. Still not entirely clear about whether latter has versioning?
Also would be great if anyone could provide an update of what was
discussed in relation to CKAN/National Data Catalogue project?

All the best,

Jonathan

I hacked the first version of what we have together in Wordpress which served its purpose to get things moving but things stagnated a bit as I don't don't have a clue about PHP and ran out time (as always). Anything that can get the information about what data is out there is great by me as the reason I started the catalogue was because I just didn't know where to go and get certain datasets that I was interested in.
