Add and use a placeholder for checkIsDocumentPublic We should somehow decide whether a document is publically viewable. This should of course be dependant on what the document is, e.g. the FAQ of a program should be allow(), whereas a student's application should be checkIsMentor(). Patch by: Sverre Rabbelier

The md5 and sha modules are deprecated since Python 2.5, replaced by the
hashlib module containing both hash algorithms. Here, we provide a common
interface to the md5 and sha constructors, preferring the hashlib module when
available.
