Huge +1 on everything Tom said, except the point about the docs: Calling out quality packages in some way from the docs >
The nice thing about developer communities is that they're fairly emergent. Consensus is usually formed all the way from the very bottom, on up. This works well. Especially to a newcomer, an innocuous claim like, "X is a decent library for Y" from a well-known framework like Django may as well be, "X is the library you need to use for Y". This has the unfortunate effect of creating a monopoly, which invariably results in stagnation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
