If you're developing your own user accounts, you're doing more than =

reinventing Mantissa, you're reinventing axiom :).  Have you looked at =

the "axiom.userbase" module?

Mantissa does provide all that as well.  It may just be a matter of =

That definitely seems like the best course of action regardless. =

Ideally, Mantissa would provide only the glue between your views and =

your models, and that code should easily migrate to plug in to a =

different framework as long as the basic underlying assumptions (mostly =

an Axiom database) are the same.
