Task #831
Updated by Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza about 10 years ago
* enables the automated tests to be run on vegbiendev
* allows adding a new datasource directly on vegbiendev, without a dependency on a separate testing machine to run the automated tests
** this makes it much easier for a documentation tester or other BIEN members to add datasources, since they do not need to set up their own VegBIEN install
* makes it possible to upload a new datasource from a web interface (which can just use vegbiendev)
* avoids needing to maintain two copies of VegBIEN and keep them both in sync (which requires running every command twice)
** however, we shouldn't necessarily get rid of the 2nd copy, because it is useful for testing (so that buggy commands don't break the live DB)
