[geeklog-devel] users table

[Tony Bibbs]

If we do that, this should at least open up the possibility of 
dynamically adding extended user attributes.  I know there is a hack out 
there that does this and I don't know how it works but an ideal solution 
would allow the following:

1) Ability to give the field a name
2) Allow field tag (shown on forms) to be represented in different languages
3) Ability to mark as required
4) Ability to give a min and/or max value
5) Ability to give a set of possible values (i.e. to be used in a drop down)
6) Ability to indicate a data type for better validation.
7) Doesn't require template changes when new fields are added.
8) Oh, and most importantly, don't require a database change in order to 
add a new field

This should all be doable via the administration pages.  This could, 
arguably, be a for-profit solution as I argue implementing those 
features isn't trivial.

I'm ok, with you adding the field to itch the immediate scratch...just 
thinking out loud.
