How would this be handled in user code?  How would Manipulators deal
with these, ie, would Manipulators have to start taking request.user
in addition to request.POST?  (I'm assuming you've put thought into
how this will effect the proposed changes to Automatic Manipulators,
as well?)

In particular, I have a couple of Models that are created updated
during the save() of other Models (ChangeLogs and Changes) and I
realize this is a special case, but is there any good way to have have
CurrentUser information available to something like the save() without
tying it to only the Admin (ie, still allowing custom forms or
shell-based modifications)?

(On a side note, I could use the ability to have custom
non-Model-Fields (ie, not persisted in the database, only used in the
save() ChangeLog generation) in the Admin, is there an existing way to
do this?)

Yeah, we talked about this on Sunday at the Django sprint. The
tentative plan is to introduce a CurrentUserField which is
special-cased in the admin logic.

I see that ticket #1268 has been closed as WontFix - threadlocal is
felt to be to heavyweight a solution. Unfortunately, some mechanism for
this is going to be needed for Django to be used in many corporate
environments - has anyone had any other thoughts about how to implement
this?

Thanks,

I wasnt sure from the documentation if subclassing would do a
"inheritance" DB thing like many ORM tools support, or simply combine
the two classes as I was hoping for.

no
see http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/1268 though

yes
see the docs (either on www.djangoproject.com/documentation or the

PS the project and app level DB would also allow for creater scalablity
and better seperation of concerns.

One last question, is it possible to add a glboal hook into the ORM
layer ala SOX requiremens i the USA. To proide an audit of any
transaction ?
