I should apologize here. I've just gone back and double-checked and for 
some reason my local development system did not have some updates it 
should have done (I use svk locally and it seems there might have been 
an issue correctly pulling changes from svn which were made on the 
production machine). Having done so I found a couple of bugs (and fixed 
them) as detailed in:

[ckan/misc][s](bugfixes): correct various issues mainly to do with 
development authentication setup which had been missed due to weird svk 
behaviour.

* development.ini,
   ckan/tests/functional/test_account.py: Update to AuthKit 0.4.0 
requires upgrading of development.ini authkit config and also some 
fixing up of tests.

* ckan/public/images/ckan.sql.gz: this symlink is only needed on 
production machine and breaks python setup.py develop when absent so now 
removed.

These all come from Pylons 0.9.6.1 so should whatever was required there ..

Yes it should have done given that authkit was not working ...

Yes, though I would say this was ultra-low priority ...

Good question. My preference was to move ckan stuff to okfn-help for the 
time being but then I wondered whether we should have a dedicated list. 
Probably the best thing is to move stuff there and if it turns out to be 
'overwhelming' okfn-help we can split off a dedicated list -- this way 
we avoid premature list proliferation :)
