Quite simple to reproduce:

Go to: http://omgmg.dyndns.org:6543/auth/resend_verification/ (if you're still logged in from testing, log out first)

File 'mediagoblin/auth/views.py', line 193 in resend_activation
  request.user[u'verification_key'] = unicode(uuid.uuid4())
TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment

Users should be able to mark media entries as favorites by clicking a button/link in the entry detail view (and probably from gallery views as well). This change will likely require the creation of a new "UserFavorite" model with a structure like:

{'user': user_id, 'media_entry': media_entry_id, 'created': datetime.datetime.now()}

...and also a new field on MediaEntry containing a count of UserFavorites for that entry (to avoid expensive queries to generate this number dynamically for every request).

A script like:

./bin/gmg adduser <username> <password> <email>

is clearly needed.

We could also use:

./bin/gmg makeadmin <username>
./bin/gmg changepw <username>

for making an existing user an admin or changing a user's password.
