GeoDjango has a list too: http://groups.google.com/group/geodjango and an IRC channel: #geodjango on freenode.net > Remaining problem: the geo database is oracle, so apparently I need the > "geos" library.

The GeoDjango installer uses GEOS from the PostGIS binaries, so that's probably a good place to look. http://postgis.refractions.net/download/windows/#windbinaries I think all you need is to drop the GEOS dll (libgeos_c-1.dll) into somewhere on your system path.
