[support] CCK type of 'person'

[Bill Fitzgerald]

Bio and Autonodetitle will do exactly what you describe.

Bio can be used for users creating their own profiles; if the profiles 
will be entered by someone other than the person being described (ie, 
you are creating a site that gives biographical info on renowned 
oceanographers) then you can use autonodetitle with a standard cck 
content type.

Cheers,

Bill
