taken from the above link:
"
Functionality
     * Base Functionality - domain knowledge not neccessary (Product 
encapsulates).
     * Advanced Functionality - domain knowledge partly necessary.
     * Expert Functionality - domain knowledge neccessary, partly 
programming skills.
     * Analyst Functionality - domain knowledge and analytic / 
abstraction / programming skills necessary.

those are other domains, but the above "Functionality Requirements" 
should be valid for those domains, too.

I understand this.

But there are methods to deal with this, fro the quick-start topic here 
e.g. a "multiple project templates" (as stated in another message):

django-admin.py startproject eval newcomer-project

django-admin.py startproject eval  # uses standard-project

I don't think that my statements are blanket.

I've provided demonstrations and even concrete results 
(refactoring/implementation):
