I think it's a great framework. I've used it before and quite like it. For me it's a simple matter that I don't have time to do any contract work right now. That and I'm just not web developer. It's not a bad web posting. It's just that it's a contract posting. Which means lots of things have to be considered when thinking about taking it. > > I guess I only know of 5 or so local people who use Django, I'm sure > there are others who lurk.
