I was curious about this as well...we have an application that uses subdomain wildcarding to give clients a subdomain that is "their own website".
I was wondering how difficult it would be to use satchmo as a storefront for each of these subdomains? I wasn't sure if this is possible or not..since each "site" is really just an authenticated instance of our application and not a true domain. (I figure you know a lot about this given the threaded multi-host code you have done) I love the idea of not using the django admin but having wizard like pages for the users managing their stores...probably much like bigcartel.com does. I'm not sure if they use django or not, but they might be..and that is partially what we are after. Any info you can provide Bruce would be great. Thanks.
