Seed Data

[sriehl]

It would be nice to have some seed data for local development. I can fill in news items but I don't have another github account to add votes and such.

I'm still trying to figure out how to get some sample content locally. I'll plus one this as soon as I join!

Since the database isn't part of the repository (and shouldn't be), I think a good way to solve this might be to have some sort of development function that adds dummy users, news items, etc whenever called.

The only hurdles I see are generating the fake data and making sure the seed function isn't runnable on production.

We could write a grunt task that could do this, that way it would be a manual thing and would not affect production.
