Production instance of Ask Fedora

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi

I would like to do the soft launch of Ask Fedora before the end of this
month and announce it widely in sync with Fedora 16 release.  I will
coordinate with Fedora marketing for this.  The reason for doing a soft
launch earlier is to be able to seed the forum with some good questions
and answers and fix any last minute issues that might show up in a bit
more larger use.    upfiles alias in the httpd configuration for Askbot
has been added via puppet for now.   If the patch for fixing the
duplicate subject in the email alerts is included as a hotfix,  we can
enable that.  Currently I have disabled subject in the staging
instance.  The patch is here

Upstream is hoping to do a new release soon and these fixes will be
rolled into the update then.  I would like to try out varnish but that
can wait for a while.  I am still waiting on a logo from the Fedora
design team but meanwhile have disabled the default logo in the settings
as well.  We have modified the CSS only lightly because upstream has
contracted a professional designer to do a new theme and the format is
expected to change quite a bit.  Once that is done in say 2 to 3 weeks,
I intend to get a Fedora theme done as well shortly after.   Let me know
your thoughts.
