I would be fine with that -- it's nice to have something to give back, and if it raises the standard of Django apps being released that would be great too. I'm not sure how useful it is for Mac and Windows users. The middleware doesn't actually do any validation -- it's done by 'validate' from Debian's 'wdg-html-validator'. I personally wrap that in a shell script which beeps and pops up a KDE notification when a page fails. None of this is very portable! The app that records and displays failed pages is very portable (should work on any platform, and uses only relative URLs, so it's easy to plug in as an app), but I find that without the immediate feedback, it's much less useful. I'm not sure how you could fix these for those unenlightened ones (or more likely, those belonging to unenlightened companies) who aren't using Linux :-). If you think it is useful nonetheless, fine, but I haven't got much time for the next few weeks to do anything with this. Luke -- "Yes, wearily I sit here, pain and misery my only companions.
