FYI, as of the latest version of bio you can put fields on the registration form. Matt On Dec 30, 2007, at 11:46 AM, Wim Mostrey wrote:
I don't think bio is a good candidate for this, if the plan is to replace the profile module. Bio does not allow to put fields in the user registration form, which in my opinion is a required functionality for core. From my experience node profile does the cleanest of this (to make it core-worthy the node family dependency would need to be dropped of course).

What would be ideal is to have in core some way of optionally associating a user with a node type as bio does and also include in core a lightweight non-node solution for holding profile data for those who don't want a node for every user. Then people could use Panels 2 (which would be lovely to have in core someday) to display this "user profile object" as well as anything else they want on that page.
HOT!
+1 for including into core :
CCK Bio Panels
I need more coffee so I can find the notes of a wishlist I have been compiling for a while. I do know that ICONIZER and BUEditor would be ideal for those of us who would like Drupal to focus on usability and better design. I also understand the need to make the default distro lightweight. For that matter, I still believe there needs to be a serious push for different "default" distributions --and please, let's stop calling those "profiles" because it's confusing with the term "profile".
Anyhow ... more ... coffee ...
