You may want to take a look at Pinax to get a HUGE head start on a django-based web app. (http://pinaxproject.com ) And since installing Pinax auto-installs django 1.2 (currently), you may want to stick with that. But if you aren't using Pinax, move forward to 1.3 if you are new. I'm using Pinax, and I'll use the version that they auto-install with their product (which was 1.2 when I installed on a new machine yesterday). I can't wait until Pinax ships 1.3! looks cool! |

Pinax has some cool stuff, but I gotta be honest, I found it a little tough on a newbie. Maybe I just choose poorly on my starter project, but it took me a while to understand how Pinax uses templates and how the media handling works. And it turns out that I'm actually rather particular about my templates and how I want my tagging to work. It also wasn't always clear how Pinax deviates from a regular install, so it made just that much harder to ask for help or reference other tutorials.
When Pinax comes out for 1.3 I'll definitely take another look. I certainly don't intend to build my own account creation & verification & user profile app, when it's got what looks like a very nice one.
