I would like my User model to sanitize some input before before save. For now some simple whitespace stripping will do. So to avoid people registering with "Harry " and pretend to be "Harry", for example. I assume it is a good idea to do this stripping before validation, so that the validates_uniqueness_of can avoid accidental duplicat...

It doesn't ask for the password when I setup with cap deploy:setup though, strangely enough. It would make the deployment cycle so much smoother without a password pr...
