class Note(meta.Model):
noteText = meta.CharField(maxlength=100)
writer = meta.ForeignKey(MyUser, related_name="written_notes")
publications = meta.ManyToManyField(MyUser, \
related_name="readable_notes")
def __repr__(self):
return self.headline
related_name is important in this case because you have two
relationships to the same model, so you need to be careful about
disambiguating the reverse relationship.

user1.get_written_notes_list()

note1.get_publications_list()
(NB - I think 'publications' is named confusingly - 'readers' would be
better)
My apologies if I made some mistakes - I've been using m-r for a while
and forgotten what the syntax was like before...
