[ckan-dev] Undocumented config

[David Read]

Hi CKAN team,

I did a quick survey of CKAN code for undocumented configuration
options. There are 21, including most of the recent additions, so it
would be good to stem the flow.

A few of these are described in the config template - this is useful,
but it would be better to have them all in one place, and the sphinx
docs are much more visible.

It would be great if this aspect of the docs could be brought up to
the excellent standards of documentation generally. It would be most
useful for those administering CKANs like me, that are too lazy to
read all the code ;-)
