What's different from datapackage-read-js + datapackage-init-js? #15

@pwalsh could you clarify what's in here vs

https://github.com/okfn/datapackage-read-js

https://github.com/okfn/datapackage-init-js

I have a sense that this and especially https://github.com/okfn/datapackage-read-js could / should be one thing ...

This is almost unrelated to those two libs: It maps a remote resource into a DP. It was written for DataPackagist to read a CKAN/DKAN resource and automap to a DP: https://github.com/frictionlessdata/datapackagist#integrations

@pwalsh ah ok - i note that datapackage-read-js loads datapackages fro remote so there could be some overlap / integration here. It seems to be to the extent that a "read" or "load-remote" should exist standalone it would be worth maybe loading other stuff and normalizing. Anyway, thanks for clarification and food for thought.
