For reference there are some good points here[1] on this topic started by Hanne Moa. I think ideally the user model would be as simple as only having an ID as we shouldn't make assumptions about requirements for usernames, emails or even passwords with the vast array of login options we have these days. The backends can then extend this to create logins that are based on email, username, oauth, openid etc. Essentially giving us an ID to tie things together and relating different authentication methods for the same user. Just some food for thought until 1.2 is out of the way and everybody is feeling a bit more sover. http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/c522f1e2bf01c3f7 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
