Introducing django-lazysignup — Stereoplex

So I started wondering - what if we just created a real user for every person who visited the site? Django already has support for creating users with unusable passwords - so if we just create a user with an unusable password every time a new person comes along, log them in, and then at some future point (presumably once they've fallen in love with your site) they can set themselves up with a real username and password. And as a bonus, all that data that they created while messing about with the site sticks around, and carries over into their 'real' user.
