Glen Mazza closed ROL-1193.
---------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
I don't see any issue with (1) -- any SQL queries not needing the credentials
can avoid querying for them; and (2) fails cost/benefit analysis -- biographies
of people who together compose the blog's authors can already be constructed in
many different ways, static text for example.

> There is currently a bit of inconvenience created by the association between
> users and weblogs in Roller. The inconvenience comes on 2 fronts ...
> 1. The UserData object represents both a users public profile and their
> login/identity and credentials and in many ways that is not desireable. It
> would be preferrable if users could keep public profile data separate from
> login credentials.
> 2. Because the relationship between weblogs and users is many-to-many it's
> hard to make use of user information in the context of a weblog. There isn't
> really a problem in the typical case of single author weblogs, but since the
> system allows group blogs you can't make any assumptions and so extracting
> information about the authors of a weblog can be a bit tricky.
> Some thought should be put into finding ways for weblogs to have better
> access to information about their author(s) which can be used and displayed.
> One idea is to create the concept of a WeblogProfile which represents a set
> of public profile information for a weblog. We can then try and use the
> WeblogProfile to provide access to one or more UserProfiles which represent
> the set of public profile information about a single author. These objects
> would contain explict logic about how to deal with situations where the
> many-to-many relationship between weblogs and users is burdensome.
> In essence, the idea is to develop some means to capture a richer set of
> metadata about weblogs and users which can be used in all sorts of ways.
