Ask Fedora status update
Hi
(cc'ing Ankur since he has expressed interest in helping with the admin
tasks)
* Form for local login is still shown in the login page even though
this is disabled. This continues to cause confusion among new users and
the fix is upstream
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3761
We need to pull this in as a hotfix and test it.
* FAS openid doesn't seem to be working for some people. I am unsure of
the current status
* Cron job for sending reminders to accept an answer
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3762
We have enabled this feature but it is essentially non-functional
without the cron job running
* Enabling Ask Fedora to send emails async
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3763
Celery was an option but there seems to be some amount of concern with
the additional complexity. Upstream is of the opinion that celery isn't
that much of an overhead
http://askbot.org/en/question/10531/simpler-alternative-to-celery/
I looked out for options and the one that is actively maintained is
django post office
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-post_office
It isn't packaged yet but requires no code changes and very simple
configuration. If someone has the time, please test this in staging. I
will do the packaging once it is confirmed that it serves our purpose.
