I think single sign on will make Askbot more integrated with Fedora and
fas auth plugin code is pretty small

Postgres, 8.3 and above is supported

I haven't checked.  CC'ing upstream developer.

For testing,  I expect we would require frequent changes and atleast
during the initial stages of deployment,  we would probably want to rev
up now and then.   This will likely slow down over time but since we
haven't had such a major end user facing deployment before,  I find it
hard to say for sure.    I would like to add a number of features but
those are mostly nice to have.  Not much that would need immediate
attention.
