Looking at that list it would seem to be a 'no-brainer' for many clients to choose it over straight Django? For a significant numbers of sites the development *cost* and *time* will be lower using Mezzanine over Django?

I think that statement doesn't refer to any specific example, but instead it refers to Mezzanine as a whole.

It makes the most sense when you think about the task a developer has at hand when they first set out to build a content managed website with Django. Django gives you all the plumbing to build this, but gives you nothing actually built out of the box in terms of website features, therefore inherently being entirely unopinionated.

With Mezzanine you actually have a lot of the functionality built from the start that websites need (and in some cases, *all* the features needed) - navigation structure, blog, forms, accounts, galleries, file management, etc (those are your examples if you really want them).

Everything it provides is an opinion on how these things should be built *in the context of Django*. The developer building a content managed website with Django no longer needs to make a decision on whether they should source these components from libraries or build them themselves, and often painfully, how they'll all glue together - this is all done for you, inherently in an opinionated way.

    Hello everyone
    I am going to talk about Mezzanine to the Python User Group here
    in Auckland (New Zealand) and I have been preparing my slides by
    looking at Stephen's PyCon APAC talk in Taiwan.

    http://blog.jupo.org/2014/08/21/pycon-apac-keynote-mezzanine/

    In it he says 'Mezzanine is opinionated - it makes choices for
    you' 52 mins and 37 secs in

    Does anyone have an example of that?

    TIA
    Graham
