Oh, sorry, missed this earlier. I see now. Still -- Dwins, using this for testing OK by you?
We're already using the Django test suite (sort of; the tests are not very well maintained.) I am more interested in figuring how the JavaScript tests will be set up; particularly given that testing the scripts in the site will probably require standing up a GeoServer alongside of Django.

We've basically had this discussion before and the JS gurus from OpenGeo have opined that manual testing will be the same or less work as maintaining an automated test suite, so I would want to get Andreas' input on a JS test environment before implementing it.

    The case has already been made, there have been talks of a "geopinax"
    for a lot of time and even some integration of "foursquare type"
    applications. They are very inclusive and I know already a lot of the
    folks in the community. In the remote case that they don't like our
    geonode profile, we can just create a geonode-admin.py script that
    mimics or extends pinax-admin.py, just as pinax-admin.py extends
    django-admin.py.


Are there Pinax community lists or IRC communities we should be getting familiar with if we are going to start working with them more closely?

Good question.
