Time of my learning I wondered this part - why always blogs. I don't want to write blog engine... :) > That said, Jacob's bikeshed comment is also completely accurate.

I can also lend my small hand. I've recently (last spring) gone through learning curve how to use (Geo)Django and how to get at least decent (IMO) system up and running. I live in world of GIS. My projects are not traditional web apps, like blogs, pastebins. Personally I found a bit hard to find information that goes much beyond standard blog engine or simple forum. Also few surprises came along the path to where I am now. And of course got some "why this wasn't mentioned in tutorial" moments. -- Jani Tiainen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
