Personal Info
-------------
I am a 21 year old computer science student from Belgium.
Last year I successfully participated in last years GSOC
for the pygame project. I wrote a python extension that
adds camera support to the osx version of pygamy. This
involved talking to the QuickTime library and working
with pygame's internal surface system. My mentor was Nirav Patel.
I am interested in programming, python, computer vision,
security. I am a member of hackerspace brussels and
hackerspace ghent.

The Problem
-----------
I will work on enhancing the auth.user to include the following
features:
* use email as username
* specific username length
* single name field instead of first_name/last_name
* etc
If I have time left I will add third part authetification
support for the following sites:
* Google
* Facebook
* Twitter
* OpenId
* etc
This is similar to: http://github.com/facebook/tornado/blob/master/tornado/auth.py
Proposal
--------
I propose to implement newauth that provides the same
capabilities as auth but with the possibility to
I propose to implement a framework that lets user specify there
own User class. This custom user class will be able to be
plugged in like described in the infamous #3011 ticket.
With this user framework a user will a able to specify a user
model using a base class. In the custom user class the
developer can specify the following things:
* fields and methods of the model
* behavior of anonymous user (possible permissions)
* the form, add_form and change_password_form that
django admin uses
*
To provide backward compatibility I will re-implement/modify
the existing User class using the User framework. Only the
old user model will use the get_profile() method. This way
all the internal python code can use the new system and
future changes to the authentication module, or possible
separation of this module into authentication and authorization
like discussed in ticket #3669 will be a more simple.
Timeline
--------
Week 1: Read Documentation/Code
Week 2-3: Discuss how the new auth.user must look to the
to the outside.
Week 4: Write UserTemplate
Week 5: Fix forms
Week 6: Fix admin
Week 7: re-implement old auth.User
Week 8: test 'new' old auth.User with existing code
Week 9-10: Write third party authentication
