Sure it is. When you call community_login(), it'll return you the
yes/no field, the full name, the email address, an author text (not
used anymore, so don't rely on that), community docs superuser flag
(also not used, don't rely on, kind of a failed experiment) and last
successful login time prior to this one.
It's quite possible all users haven't included their full name when
they registered, but for those that have the information is available.
