Announcing the 'First Use' JupyterHub Authenticator

[Yuvi Panda]

Are you running a workshop from a single physical location, such as a
university seminar or a user group?

JupyterHub First Use Authenticator can simplify the user set up for
you. It's very useful when using transient JupyterHub instances in a
single physical location. It allows multiple users to log in, but you
do not have install a pre-existing authentication setup. With this
authenticator, users can just pick a username and password and get to
work! The password they use the first time becomes their password on
subsequent logins.

Me and John Bohannon used this to good effect at a small workshop at
UC Berkeley, ans I decided to package it up and make a release!

You can find the code and installation instructions at

Thanks Yuvi and John. 

User groups and workshops will find this very helpful so they can spend more time teaching and less provisioning users :D

Woo! This helps kill off tmpnb!

Now we just need the PoolingSpawner I talked about with folks - it would pool up spawned servers (assuming not a system user spawner) and then provide those to the users that come by.

Nope, but I built
https://github.com/yuvipanda/jupyterhub-tmpauthenticator today that is
specifically designed to handle all the authenticating needs of tmpnb
:)

Yeah, I'll try to find some time to implement that (perhaps as a mixin?) :D

We might also need a culler that deletes user accounts as well, rather
than just the spawned single-user servers - to prevent the user list
from becoming too cluttered.

I've filed https://github.com/jupyter/tmpnb/issues/255 to track
various things we need to do before we can implement tmpnb as a
JupyterHub configuration :) Comments welcome!
