Hi,

Django have known trouble with default User object, which is not
always appropriate for
all applications, when they need additional information. Of course, we
have solution with
user profile and get_profile, but it is not very nice solution and
have imperfections: ;-)
- it is not fetched automatically with User object (it can be, but
with a lot of code)
- you must think about creation of it
- (main trouble) if you have absolutely different applications, which
use profile for their
  own purposes, you need to merge their Profile models - trouble is in
the updating of
  this thing (f.e., you have forum, created by someone and integrated
in your project, and
  you definitely want to have updates).

I thought a lot about this situation and I think that I see light in
the end of tunnel - making User
model dynamic and configurable via settings (or whatever). It will be
not very hard to implement,
it will speed up and simplify (from my point of view) things a lot and
I don't see any serious
drawbacks.

What do you think about this? If this sounds reasonable, I'm happy to
open a ticket and create a
patch for this.
