Great to know they're is some interest in it and agreement that it is in need :)
I'm very interested in the prospect of redesigning the site and would love to chat more about it. I feel like I owe the Django community something for all that it has given me (including the job I currently have!). I'd love to talk scope and other factors so I have a clear idea of what would be involved. Is this a good forum for this type of discussion or should we get in touch elsewhere to talk?
