Hi all,

I am trying to a custom non-archetype, but plone.app.item.Item derived content type and to use it as a user. My problem is: it does not get cataloged, whereas
the borg charity example employees do.

Before trying to debug further: does membrane support non-AT content at all?

Well, for completeness sake and the next person, searching the same patterns: I meanwhile found out and jensens confirmed in irc: current membrane does not support non-AT content types. The membrane_tool is using AT's IReferenceable in
several places and relies on archetype_tool for catalog updates.

indeed this is true.  lack of foresight on my part.  :-P

I am working
towards a solution to use non-AT types as sources of users and groups for PlonePAS. If anybody is interested in a non-AT membrane or even to help, please
let me know. If I make any progress, I'll post here.

absolutely, very interested in this. i unfortunately don't have a lot of (read: any) time to work on this, but i'm happy to answer questions and/or do code review to support your efforts.

note that it'd be nice to still have the current, AT-based behavior as a part of what membrane provides. it's just that currently, membrane _assumes_ this is how things will be put together. instead, i think membrane should provide "adapter sets". one of these adapter sets would use AT infrastructure to manage the member data and relationships, but other adapter sets could manage this in a way that doesn't depend on AT at all.
