Currently, in the forum, the author is loaded like this.

   private void loadAuthor() throws DbException {
		Collection<LocalAuthor> localAuthors =
				identityManager.getLocalAuthors();

		for (LocalAuthor author : localAuthors) {
			if (author == null)
				continue;
			data.setLocalAuthor(author);
			break;
		}
	}

This follows the assumption that the first author (with a null safety check) is the correct author.

• Am I right to assume that we are following a single author scheme at the moment?
• Shouldn't we load up the author once, after login, and then just re-use that instance throughout the app ? Heck, we could even inject it.
