A conference site it is then. One piece of guidance, especially if you're aiming for the final site to be used for DjangoCon. Keep in mind that a tutorial needs to be simple at the start. However, a real site for a conference will be a lot more complex. There is a delicate balance that will need to be made between "useful tutorial example" and "useful real site". Of course, you could also use this to your advantage - showing how a simple site evolves into a complex one, and using the opportunity to demonstrate how you evolve models etc. > If the intention is that this will be used for the DjangoCons, we > would need input from those that run DjangoCon.

For reference, in case you didn't already know: the three key people here are: * Rob Lofthouse (Conference Organizer DjangoCon 2010) * James Tauber (Conference Chair, DjangoCon 2010) * Jannis Leidel (Conference Organizer, EuroDjangoCon 2010).
