Define the official version of ckanext-saml2

[avdata99]

OKF also have a version

OKF created a 0.4 version wich also adds support for CKAN 2.8.

Task

• Analyze OKF code and use it if is useful here. Otherwise, ask OKF to close its fork and reference this one as the oficial

[amercader]

"Official" is a loaded word that carries implications of support for the wider community, which is the reason why neither Link's or OKF's forks are in the main ckan GitHub org. To make an extension official at the very least it should have tests, which neither fork do AFAIA and to be honest a good internal refactoring wouldn't do harm. If Datopian has the capacity to tackle that it would be awesome to see.

Here are the changes we have added over time in our fork: link-master...okfn:link-master. Some of it is opinionated but most stuff I think is valuable, so happy to help port it where it makes sense.

Maybe instead of saying "official" we can say "canonical" for now which would reduce duplication in effort?

The idea being to deprecate one of the repositories.
