You can register a user with password and (optional) email address. But if you forget the password you can't then log in again. We need a password reset facility that sends and email with a new password.

When you edit a user, you should be stopped from putting links in the 'about' field, because this is a common tactic by spammers.

For some time (e.g. 1y+!) we have known that we want to integrate some kind of datastore / data processing system with CKAN. We've had a CREP in progress on this for some months (may copy that here at some point):

​http://wiki.ckan.org/CEP0004

We can distinguish 3 modules that are needed:

1. "Webstore": A datastore with dataapi - #1208

Suggestion is this would be sqlite based with a simple sql based API. ​http://ckan.net/api/data/{user|org}/{datastore_name}?q={some-read-sql-query}

2. Automated conversion of suitable resources into datastore upon resource creation so that e.g. they are accessible via the API. #1398

3. A data processing system which utilizes this datastore. One could

get a long way with simple javascript running in the browser for development with this javascript then run offline using something like nodejs. Alternatively one could allow one to specify a url to e.g. a python file which would then be run in a sandbox (with access to some specified set of python modules) - #1432
