Merge-request AI2789: change the "lead" of articles to an 'automatic abstract' instead of 'first paragraph'

[daniel tygel]

Hi all,

    This merge-request is in the line for being integrated to noosfero 
for already 9 months.

    It's quite a small patch that we thought it could be implemented: it 
was presented in the community, there was an ok, there is "4 likes". Is 
there some problem with the code? It has been in production in Cirandas 
for the last 9 months, without any problems.

The code:

       Thank you,

             daniel
