[ECODP-dev] Ticket-180 - Github repository

[ISOARD Olivier (OP)]

Hi Darwin,

Thanks for the info. The problem is actually not making the source code accessible to outside world, that we’re OK (and was explicitly set that way in the contract for ODP) but more keeping at least the track of who’s getting it. I imagine that analysing the source code may do the job of an hacker potentially easier.

About improving the read me, I will come back to you after internal discussion how to proceed.

Best regards,

Olivier ISOARD

Subject: Ticket-180 - Github repository

Dear Olivier,

In response to the JIRA ticket above asking about this.

This GitHub repository holds the code we've developed to customise and extend CKAN for the EU Open Data Portal project. The OKF update this repository with our code changes as the project progresses.

This sharing of the source code is required under the CKAN licence but more importantly sharing the code allows other organisations to benefit from having access to the the source code.

As an example the data.gov.uk<http://data.gov.uk> team have published a post on their site pointing to the repositories that contain their own extensions and the other CKAN components that they use within the project.
http://data.gov.uk/blog/the-code-behind-datagovuk

It would be great to add a similar link from the EU ODP site.

Please let me know if there are any changes you'd like us to make to the project readme file shown on the homepage of the repository.

Kind regards,

Darwin
