A lightweight, backend-free open data portal, powered by Jekyll

Open-source data portals can be really. hard. to install and maintain. But their basic purpose of providing links to download data really isn't that complicated. JKAN is a proof-of-concept that allows a small, resource-strapped government agency to stand-up an open data portal by simply clicking the fork button.

Please note this is still a work in progress! Check out the issues to help out or give feedback.
