These are for the ProtoUser to figure out which fields to present to the
user during sign-up.

For editing a user (changing preferences), fieldOrder defines the order that
the fields are presented to the user.  This is also used in the recently
added CRUDify.

Not really.  I still find myself looking the sources.  After spending
Saturday with 8 awesome folks, watching how they learned Lift, I've realized
that there's a ton of material.  My hopes for a 200 page book are pretty
much dashed.  I think there'll probably be a fair bit more for Lift.  I
think I've gotta get it broken down into the core concepts and the recipes.

Quite to the contrary.  This list is exactly for questions like this.
Please keep on asking them!
