Putting a list of applications really isn't the right solution - for one thing, the list of available applications changes much faster than Django does. Secondly, the core team doesn't want to get into the business of officially blessing certain applications. A wiki page doesn't really solve the problem either. If you make it an exclusive list, someone has to decide who is on the list and who isn't. If you make it a comprehensive list, a wiki page will very rapidly become unusable due to the volume of reusable apps out there - wiki format doesn't provide a lot of creative options for indexing/organizing content on multiple axes. > I think this is best done through a third party site.

I agree - and for those that aren't aware of the options out there, I'm aware of at least 3 sites that already do this: http://djangozen.com/ http://djangoworld.com/ http://django-apps.com/ Once upon a time http://djangopluggables.com/ would have been on this list too. However, that site has been down for a couple of months now, and nobody seems to know what happened to it. One of the topics of discussion at DjangoCon was a discussion of what (if anything) the DSF could do to assist with community resources such as these. So - watch this space for developments, but in the meantime, try out the options that already exist, and if you aren't happy with any of them, try to make something better - or better yet, offer to help make one of the existing candidates better.
