See attachements.
Stuff that is not yet properly worked out in this module, because it needs thought (instead of code) include:
where to edit the nodes (your profile)
where to view the nodes (where to render the profile)
how to limit the amount of nodes a user can post as profile in a nice way.

Should we start a thread for each topic that needs to be fleshed out (like where to view nodes and what to use for location info)? I'm unfamiliar with groups. Would I need to create a story to do that?
Roles
I'm not sure if I can add any code: I'm quite new to making modules, and this seems to be quite complex. If I can I will, but for now I'm happy to test, report and fix as and when I can.
One thing I do want is different profiles for different roles. I'm happy to wait until this is almost done and work on a module to extend it, but having it as a feature of this module would be nice. I have a module that allows users to register for a role, so this would go well with that!

mission
i like profiles as nodes, but i think you limit the audience of your group when you say "We do not aim our code at the core of Drupal. Drupal profiles are fine as they are, for certain situations. ". for example, thats not my mission with this. i would remove language from the mission that limits your audience (unless you don't want such people participating)
Good point
My intention was to make clear that it is not our main iam. And not, as it seems now, that it is not allowed. Thanks
