Hi Ross,

By default CrowdCrafting.org is only storing data in JSON format in CKAN.
The most interesting data is a JSON object stored in a column named _info_.
However I guess it would be very difficult to explode it and convert it to
valid tables (this column could have anything in JSON format, with so many
nested values that a 2D column scheme does not fit at all) in order to fit
well within CKAN and get a direct rendering view like the charts, etc, etc.

For CrowdCrafting.org I see the DataHub.io as a service to share the data
with your colleagues, and also to mark it as yours, so other researchers
can cite you without problems.

For the moment I'm fine with it, I've to check a small issue that I opened
sometime ago with DataHub.io so, we can actually start using DataHub.io
instead of demo.ckan.org.

All the best,

Daniel
