[ckan-discuss] Drupal modules

[Lin Clark]

Hi all,

Just noticed the discussion on the list... I was wondering, is there any
central coordination of the efforts that CKAN is putting into Drupal?

I ask because there is a module that says it "is the only CKAN-endorsed
Drupal module." It is still a sandbox project, not a full project.

http://drupal.org/sandbox/very_random_man/1088910

However, two other modules were recently posted as well which say they are
official. One of them is a full project, the other is a sandbox (without
code).

http://drupal.org/project/ckan
http://drupal.org/sandbox/carinadigital/1210486

It is great to have all these projects, but right now there isn't a clear
way to interact with the projects.

If there is a plan, it might be worth posting a message to the relevant
groups on http://groups.drupal.org. This will help you find other
contributors, many of whom have extensive experience with the Drupal APIs (I
personally would be happy to be an early user and post/review patches). It
will also make clear to the community what functionality they have access to
at this point and what they can get excited about for the future.

http://groups.drupal.org/semantic-web

If you need help figuring out good ways to engage the Drupal community, I'd
be happy to be part of a discussion. I know a number of people are quite
excited for this integration, so I think it could get community support.

Best,
Lin
