+Studio: Send e-mails to new Studio users (on edge only) when their course creator

+LMS: Added user preferences (arbitrary user/key/value tuples, for which

+Django admin & debug toolbar
+-----------------------------
+
+You can enable admin logins and the debug_toolbar by editing

+
+- enable ADMIN login page by setting:
+  - ```
+     'ENABLE_DJANGO_ADMIN_SITE': True
+```
+
+
+- enable debug toolbar by uncommenting:
+  - ```
+    # 'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',
+```
+
+These are also defined in `lms/envs/dev.py`,
+and usually active on localhost.
+
+To get at your VM's 127.0.0.1, explicitly forward one of VM's available localhost ports to your computer.
+Instead of `vagrant ssh`, login with:
+
+```
+$ ssh -L 6080:127.0.0.1:8080 vagrant@192.168.20.40
+```
+
+The password is _vagrant_.
+
+From your VM, start the LMS as a localhost instance:
+
+```
+$ rake lms[cms.dev,127.0.0.1:8080]
+```
+
+You should see the debug toolbar now on [http:/localhost:6080/]().
+You should now also see a login on [http://localhost:6080/admin/]()
+You will need a privileged user for the admin login.
+You can create a CMS/LMS super-user with:

 Before you run your project, you need to create a sqlite database, create
-tables in that database, run database migrations, and populate templates for

 ----------------
 edX has two components: Studio, the course authoring system; and the LMS
 (learning management system) used by students. These two systems communicate
 through the MongoDB database, which stores course information.
