Description
The AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE isn't documented, the whole "Profile" support is undocumented except for a small reference to the 'get_profile' method in [source:django/trunk/docs/authentication.txt authentication docs] maybe it should be documented somewhere, the best source of information I could find about it is this b-list post, there is also this wiki page which should be updated to reflect this new setting maybe with a note to the documentation if it gets added.
On the code you can get a few more information: [source:django/trunk/django/contrib/auth/models.py here]

Why is still undocumented? Are you planning to change it? I'm gonna start a big project and I need this feature, but please tell me if you plan to change this.
Is the setting AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE the right way to get it working?

Why haven't we done it? Lack of time. Feel free to help out. If it's in the book it's not likely to change.

I'll start to work on it today or on Friday. I hope I can submit the patch before next week.

Patch adding "Extendig the profile system" to the documentation

I have documented the extendable profile system. Most of the text comes from the djangobook because I'm Spanish and I thought it would be better to copy it rather than write it by myself.
Important: The patch MUST be reviewed by some native English speaker before applying it.
I hope it's ok.

Thank you! Jacob's just checking out the legalities of what can/can't be merged in from the Djangobook (we want to be very careful here for obvious reasons), but once that's sorted out we'll deal with it :)

The Django book documents it: http://www.djangobook.com/en/beta/chapter12/#cn226
That can probably be rolled in to the official docs, per plans to do that with most of the stuff in the book.
