What is the CKAN?

The Comprehensive Kerbal Archive Network is a repository of metadata about mods for Kerbal Space Program, and associated tools to work with this metadata.

Additionally, using this metadata it's possible to write safe and robust mod managers that can guarantee that mods are installed exactly as they are supposed to.
