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.
