[wp-hackers] Customize user profile page

[Dmitry Tokmakov]

Yeah, but i'm thinking about to create custom post type which duplicate the users section, and use save/add new/ delete actions to populate and make changes into wp_users table, 

this will take the way less time then building custom user profile from scratch.
what you think about this solution ?
