Comment (by cjrh):
When I was researching how to customize third-party apps, I found this
blog entry very useful for a rapid overview:
http://blog.yourlabs.org/post/19777151073/how-to-override-a-view-from-an-
external-django-app
I also recently discovered this third-party app loader that allows one to
extend templates, rather than replace them completely:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-apptemplates/
From IRC discussions, it sounds like quite a few experienced people use
forking for customization. It would be good to have clear guidelines
about how to avoid forking , as well as guidelines on how to correctly do
forking when you really have to.
