Definitely start a new project with a custom user and I would consider aborting

Which may not be possible for large, existing projects.
Switching to a custom user model in mid-project is possible. Based on the work
of other's, I've tried to summarize the required steps, see
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25313#comment:18 for details.
For new projects, consider

Well documented Carsten!!! Many thanks. Also, I really liked
django-improved-user and was able (having endured the retro-fitting
pain) to adjust last_name/first_name to full_name/short_name. That was
an immediate payoff.
In your documentation you mention "from accounts.models import User"
I have been maybe taking things too literally. After migrating to my
custom user I have used "from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model"
followed by "User = get_user_model"
I much prefer your direct route. Is it correct?
Thanks
Mike
