Re: auth.User usernames

2012-02-15 Thread Tai Lee

I and some folks in my area (Boston/Cambridge, MA) are thinking of ways to provide a solution to this problem that neither requires schema migration nor breaks backwards compatibility. David, if you (or anyone on this mailing list) is interested, email me and let's coordinate our efforts. Alternat
