This assumes that I'm using Django's user-model, right? I should have
mentioned that I don't, I'm using a custom model. Is there a way to
make a custom model available in all views and templates without
explicitly passing it as a parameter every time?
I read about writing a custom Context in the docs but that doesn't seem
to save code -- "user = get_user(request)" will still be required and
instead of passing "'user' : user" to render_to_response I'll have to
instantiate the Context and pass it. Or am I missing something?
