• OpenID user authentication
• HTTP Basic authentication
• HTTP Digest authentication
• JSON authentication
• Google apps (or GMail) SMTP Servers
• Image upload, manipulation and retrieval
• External, AWS asset host
• Basic administrative tools, for provided features

Support for the following external services:

• "Heroku":http://heroku.com for deployment
• "Run Code Run":http://runcoderun.com continuous integration service
