[ckan-discuss] CKAN Wishlist

[Augusto Herrmann]

Hi, Sean!

That's fantastic! We are very pleased to hear that. If what I read on
trac.ckan.org is correct, next release should be in June, right? But
if we want to check it out right now we could use the tip of the
development version, right?

Thank you very much.

Cheers,
