Perhaps I'm way in the wrong, but I assumed we could mixin additional Models, Views, and Controllers. I just sent another message to the list, where I realized that this is not as easy as I thought. Is it possible at all?
If so, I think this would provide a very good avenue for a unified authentication/user method. We could mixin a User model, a Login controller, and the appropriate views. Like the Camping::Session mixin. Similarly for your site wide template idea, mixin a layout method. Again, I'm still pretty new to camping, so I might be misunderstanding the whole thing.
