Promoted datasets

[mkalish]

Since we've taken the approach that anyone can push any datasets to data.codefordc.org, it would be nice to have a way to mark datasets as promoted to help highlight particularly interesting, clean or important data.

Tasks:

• Investigate if there is an existing plugin for setting certain data sets as "promoted"
• Investigate using the built in category/tag system to power the idea is feasible
• If neither of the above is satisfactory, create a new CKAN plugin that allows admins to mark datasets as promoted. It should appear as another tab on the the dataset page and should allow the user to select the reason fro promotion. (If this is the ultimate path, we'll write further requirements)
• Design and create a new section on the home page (inside the opendatadc plugin) that will rotate through all the promoted datasets

Plan of attack (there doesn't seem to be an existing plugin) for the initial MVP of this feature

• Make use of a promoted tag (or something along those lines
• Query for any that have the tag attached to them
