Description
This feature request concerns ckanext-spatial, ckanext-scheming and maybe it's not CKAN-core enough to get traction here - please advise if this is the wrong place to ask.
In the spatial widget, let users either pick a pre-defined spatial extent (e.g. administrative boundaries), or draw the extent directly (as rectangle or polygon), in addition to the good old paste-valid-GeoJSON which non-spatial users tend to struggle with.
Here's a tentative implementation in action: https://vimeo.com/116324887

Research direction
Start by reviewing the ckanext-spatial spatial widget and the linked ckanext-spatial pull request #93, then read ckanext-scheming issue #11 for the use cases and backstory. Done should let users choose a pre-defined extent or draw a rectangle or polygon, while retaining valid GeoJSON input.
