Hello all,

Fairly new to satchmo, decent understanding of django...
I have installed satchmo to its own test project and got the demo
store working and everything works great.  My next step is to try to
integrate a satchmo store to my exsiting django project.  I have my
existing layout like so:

mywebsite
|
settings.py
manage.py
urls.py
------------->apps
                    |
                 application1
                 application2
                 ...

I have read this on merging to an existing project:

http://www.llaisdy.com/blog/2008/03/21/installing-satchmo/

and it seems that perhaps some of this is already been done to handle
this (that url might be dated)? (SITE_NAME, DJANGO_PROJECT in the
local_settings.py file)

So...

1) I was confused about why there exists a DATABASE_NAME,
DATABASE_PASSWORD in the local_settings file?  Is this so that satchmo
can have it's own DB?  Do you recommend satchmo get its own db or can/
should it live within my existing application database?

2) I currently serve my static media out of /media/  is there any
downside to doing this?  I assume I can manipulate the settings
(MEDIA_ROOT etc) and copy satchmo's static files to the right location
and this will work?

3) The SECRET_KEY, should there be one in my original settings and one
in my local_settings or only the original one?

I suppose in conclusion I'm looking for what others have done, any
"best practices" and any general project setup and layout help I can
get...

Thanks....
