I definitely approve of this getting done - unfortunately I have no time 
to work on it personally in the near future (at least 3-4 weeks).

Also, I'm not sure why, but email notifications are not working for 
account requests for the wiki right now - I've been checking every day 
since discovering a queue with 12 people in it after the test day but 
I'd prefer this to be more interrupt-driven. Do you know if we have all 
the necessary PHP modules and configuration in place for email 
notifications on OpenShift?

Thanks!
Dave.
