CKAN Extensions registry and website.

How it Works

• Extension Master List - maintained in Google Spreadsheet
  • name (id), title, url plus editorial information (show, featured etc) for all extensions we know about
• Metadata plus README for each extension is stored into `extensions/{extension-id}.md
  • Metadata attributes stored in frontmatter and README into the body
  • What extensions we store is driven by the master list (we download all extensions with show column = 1)
  • Script to do this is scripts/generate.py

Managing Updates and Building the Site

1. Add extension information to the master list (whether we plan to show the extension or not).

2. Then set show column value to 1 to have the extension included in the public extension registry.

3. Generate the local page for the extension or extensions using the generate.py script:

   (Re)-generate just one extension page:

   python scripts/generate.py {name-of-extension}
   

   (Re)-Generate pages for all extensions:

   python scripts/generate.py

# Thoughts

## What do we include (?)

• Classic CKAN Extensions
• Apps (that build on the CKAN API)
• Tools (?) - e.g. something for managing CKAN better
