Dulcinea is collection of modules that we think might be useful for people building general-purpose web applications using Quixote. Version 0.1 has been out for a while now (on http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/) and 0.2 will include more similar stuff factored out of our web applications. The new code related to users will include UserDatabase and User classes, forms for user registration and login. We're also planning to release a demo app that gives an example of how these can be used. I wouldn't want to discourage you from working on your own user management modules. The timing of the release is not controlled by the developers, so I can't tell you how long it will be. I just wanted to let everyone know that we've got something in the works.
