new release to QA with fix for th422 
discussed access control with Robin
updated wiki notes on access control
released sprint 3 to production at night

The release last night went smoothly, but we found a path problem in album/SS.
The alfresco server is moved from isda-thalia6 to isda-thalia9, but the album/ss is still
pointing at isda-thalia6.
It's possible to manually update all the paths in album/ss , but it is labor intensive and error-prone. Since this problem will be resolved in sprint4 (we will not hardcode the path in sprint4), the temporary solution for this is to keep isda-thalia6 for now.

Robin
