    Was looking through the documents and couldn’t figure out how to use a plugin I am working on to add custom form inputs during the user registration, and to add the columns to the table in the database for this custom information.

    I would strongly discourage you from adding columns to the user table. You will likely bollix the ability for WP to update the table at some time in the future. Instead, store your extra data in usermeta, that is what this table is for, and there are functions to use so you do not need to directly interact with mySQL.

    As for adding form fields, I think you are out of luck for the user-new.php page. However, the user-edit.php page appears to have filters and actions that can be used. This is consistent with the default behavior of there being more fields in the edit page than the new page.
