[Dev-flock] contrib.auth attribute errors

[Lucy Mendel]

ratings, and possibly other things, don't work because of user
authentication. anyone know what the dilly is on this one?

in the meantime, i'm moving ahead on svn-izing /var/sites/hm_demo (not
hm_production, which i think is a dud), or doing whatever is necessary
to publish hm_staging to hm_demo.

here's the problem:

here are the details:
user clicks on a star in order to rate a review. the user can be
logged in or be anonymous; same error:
