Yes, I've discussed that scenario with Raphael -- its definately needed.
Right now, when you create a new user, you simply get the Turbine user
default profile -- and thats it.
If the Turbine user isn't there, then you get exceptions...
No other choice. Our (vague) idea was an intermediate screen that you are
shown after creating a new user, that allows you to choose from a list of
default profiles for new users. You could even choose: public projects to
join, and roles that you want to take on, although for some sites this may
be preferred as an administrative task.

That has some possibilities, like introducing the 'project' variable to the
portal.

Yes, this is still possible with option (b), since you still have multiple
profiles per user.
With option (b), Jon's recommendation for basing profiles on
user/role/project(group) does make sense.
So when a user logs on -- they logon with their username/password and
optionally their project.
If they don't log on to a project, then we can just use a default project.
I still think there is a need for common profiles that are not specific to a
user.
On a previous project, I made use of that a lot.
