Hi all,

Several people interested in using CKAN as a registry of open
(government) data in their country have expressed an interest in
having either a new front end, a different 'theme' and/or more user
features.

Antti Poikola (Finland), Daniel Dietrich (Germany) and James Burke
(Netherlands) are going to take a lead in suggesting improvements and
features that they would like to see, as well as in comparing it to
other similar sites/projects. Perhaps as David Eaves (Canada) is also
thinking about this, he might like to join in too?

I suggest that Antti, Daniel, James and David (if he is interested),
add their ideas and suggestions to the OKF wiki:

Perhaps, once they have done this, we can then schedule in a meeting
with core CKAN developers/designers to talk about this. E.g. sometime
in February? Also several people have suggested the possibility of
finding other designers/developers (Python) to help out with this in
respective countries...
