Add a way to share datasets and see mentions of datasets on twitter (and elsewhere)

As a visitor I want to share a link to a dataset I have found. I also want to see how many others have shared this (or mentioned it).

• Sharing platform: simplest option is probably twitter but could generalize to e.g. sharethis system which supports, facebook, twitter etc etc.
  • Will need a config option for relevant API key e.g. ckan.sharethis.apikey
• Location: Put this at top of sidebar on dataset view (a better suggsetion?)
• Should show how many mentions / shares there are. (very important!)

Discussion

• (Tom and Ira and ...): do we really want this, versus e.g. proper follow extension?
• What about bringing conversation back in to CKAN. E.g. show all times this dataset (i.e. its url) was mentioned on twitter. If we do this I think this should be definite +1.
• Also, given our users, I think just doing twitter (identica) may be sufficient (how many people want to share links to datasets on facebook?)

Superticket: #1343

Creation of accounts from OpenID causes large number of problems:

• No guarantee of other profile info
• Poor username (just from openid)

We therefore will:

1. Require creation of user account via register (no auto-creation of accounts via openid)
   • sidebar of register page should point to login page rather than openid signin

2. Permit association of an openid with an account ...
   • How: paste in your openid url (requires change to edit form to have this)
     • won't work for google with their weird openid urls
   • [future] Nicer way is to have login via openid while logged in (which association then happening in background)

3. Migration (for 1+2):
   • (?) Generate decent usernames for all existing accounts
   • As this is nontrivial suggest instead we allow editing of usernames (by account owner and sysadmins). This is useful in its own right and is a reasonable 80/20 solution.
     • This does present the problem of re-associating commits with the new username. Best solution to this would be to switch revisions to point to userid rather than username. See #1534

4. [optional] Change display_name to always be username
   • Change My Account to Username at top right of all pages (once we know usernames are short ...)
     • could do this straight away by truncating long usernames (e.g. truncate at 20 chars ...)
     • Also should we lose the icon?

Super ticket: #1506

• Show member since
• Display email (in obfuscated form)
• List all owned datasets (in standard manner)
  • Will need change to logic layer to show datasets on user dict (this is useful for the API as well ...)
• (Re)move list of changes
  • Should have activity (once activity available)

WONTFIX:

• ?? Allow users to provide a home page, organization (requires migration)
