I'm working on a project template that add's AuthKit + a port I'm doing of the TurboGears Identity db schema and helpers. It'll end up in Tesla ( http://code.google.com/p/tesla-pylons-elixir/ ) when its done. That's just the auth and group/user/permission stuff though, it'll still need the basic stuff that most ppl end up writing themselves such as new user registration, lost password recovery, etc. I'd like to get a setup with the additional registration/ password recovery, etc. and maybe some people can voice what they'd like most in it.

Right now existing systems do the basic username/password, with recovery, which would be a good start. I'm implementing a system that lets one associate OpenID logins with their existing account, or even setup a new account using the OpenID Registration extensions (makes it faster to make new accounts elsewhere). Would people want that in the template as well?
