History

+

Max Ogden was developing Recline as the frontend data browser and editor his http://datacouch.com/ project. Meanwhile, Rufus Pollock and the CKAN team at the Open Knowledge Foundation had been working on a Data Explorer for use in the DataHub and CKAN software.

+

When they met up, they realized that they were pretty much working on the same thing and so decided to join forces to produce the new Recline Data Explorer.

+

The new project forked off Max's original recline codebase combining some portions of the original Data Explorer. However, it was rapidly rewritten from the ground up using Backbone.
