Hi,
We've tested a couple of things on the askbot staging instance that I
think could really improve the performance of askfedora:
1. Use python-django-post_office as email back end[1]:
We run a cron job to send out mails periodically using post-office
asynchronously. This reduces the delay in comment posting and
operations quite a bit.
2. Send periodic reminders to request people to accept the best answer
for questions they've asked.[2]
This should hopefully reduce the number of "unanswered" questions on
the forum, specially questions that have been answered but no answer
accepted.
The changes are minor ones and could wait for the freeze to finish,
but I expect them to improve usability quite a bit. What do you folks
think?

Apart from the puppet changes below, the ask production database will
have to be updated to include python-post-office as explained
here[3].

I'm ok with this given it's all working in stg.
