Improve Project creation.

Really?

Should we implicitly make the project-creating-user a collaborator?

What about a user creating a project who is not a collaborator on THAT same project? (Should this be possible?)

UUID auto generation

This is not the Rails Way(tm). Except I don't like binding model logic to persistence with hooks.
Possibly fix with after_initialize() ; if new? ... ; end

See: The Rails 3 Way, page 308. It's called after each DB load. :/

No sure i'm getting this (i wont open right now the R3 way i'm about to.. take a NAP!), but don't use too much after_initialize. The reason behind this is that when you do user = User.first, user.initialize is never called. Instead, AR will call user = User.allocate, then use instance_variable_set on @attributes, and finally fire-off the callbacks.

So after_initialize would only work when you do User.new (and so, new? will always be true in this method)

That's OK, the UUID should only be generated on p = Project.new(...). I read about this to insure it only happens then, in fact.

I'll read about more details when get around to updating this. Related to hooks, I have to review the details of Model.create and Model.save.
