Heya Jacob, It's great that you spend some time answering this n00b-to-django questions, I saw your talk at Google TechTalks on April 26, 2006 (on google video), the talk got me ;) (but you have to correct those slides LOL)
> I'm not sure what you mean by "actual development environment," ... I mean that actually we're using LAMP environment plus other goodies like Dojo, so the refined question (hopefully) is, can I integrate any django project to my actual PHP/MySQL environment with minimum effort so later (after publishing) we can start worrying about moving everything to Django or is better to build everything on Django due our inexperience ;) > > does the integration works with minor workarounds? > > Again, I'm not sure what you mean here; if you'll elaborate I'll try > to answer...

Yes, our project is about social networking, so it's very important for us to set the foundations for a permission granularity in many aspects on the site e.g. an user can do anything meanwhile "anything" belongs to him (with "anything" I mean blogs, forums, communities, profile, etc.) and also an individual can be part of a blog or a community and have some permissions or also be part of the staff group of a particular group, I want that my users have control of their own groups (group management), and I want to have control of their accounts like disabling / enabling / reviewing accounts. Another aspect in which I am curious is the sessions handling, in PHP for example you can detect whether an user is online or not and have one session per user, not allowing login attempts with the account that is already in use. I feel that this is possible using Django right? I am also dealing with the templates, meanwhile here our designers are used to Smarty, and what I saw from the tutorial it's something indeed different in many ways to set the look and feel, but of course not impossible :) Thanks for your time, have a nice day.
