We should make it possible to test the messaging system.

If you look at mediagoblin/utils.py you can see what happens when we _activate_testing() for some other things... ie, we insert template context info like so:

if TESTS_ENABLED:
    TEMPLATE_TEST_CONTEXT[template_path] = context

Maybe we should do something similar with messaging? Either we should store in a dictionary like TEMPLATE_TEST_CONTEXT, maybe TEST_MESSAGES (which gets wiped by clear_test_buckets()) or we should store in the session like request.session['test_messages'] (should also get wiped by clear_test_buckets())

I'm assigning this to Caleb Davis who I think is a good fit for it.

Right now, I have no way of telling how many users are on the site or any way of seeing their profiles (other than clicking on another user's photo and clicking their name on the photo page). If we're going to have user profiles, let's have a way of finding other users!

This covers some research and also some tweaks to our process. GNU requires that we push tarballs to their ftp server.

So we need to figure out the following:

1. how do we get set up with that?
2. how do we add it to our release process?

Grabbing this one and putting it in the 0.0.5 target.
