3161	m2m relationship without intermediary model	Alejandro Varas	Adrian Holovaty	"I think is easier to do something like 

class Reporter(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(maxlength=30)
    last_name = models.CharField(maxlength=30)
    position = models.ManyToManyField(Article, position)# with that we can say, here is a m2m relationship with an extra field

class Article(models.Model):
    headline = models.CharField(maxlength=100)
    pub_date = models.DateField()

it is just a suggestion to make it easier and in a shorter way

the idea is not to code the intermediary model"	enhancement	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)		normal	invalid			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
