Integrating askbot into existing project: Group and User modifications, Jinja templates

Hello, I'm currently integrating askbot into own app and everything seems to be be good but I have 2 questions though:

  1. Can anyone give me a brief overview on changes to auth_user and auth_group models, I saw that migration created a separate group per every existing user, what is the logic behind that? Is there any list of field changed by askbot to default auth models?
  2. Briefly, what is the motivation behind using Jinja2 for rendering templates? Why did not the authors user default django templates(I use default django templates and underscore js renderer in existing project and consider rewriting Askbot under my tech stack.)

Thanks in advance
