You aren't the first person to make this suggestion. Here's the most
recent discussion about the topic that I could find:

http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/f7e60519fef30d2f

My opinion hasn't changed since that time.

Yours,

I've noticed that the mailing list name 'django-developers' always
creates confusion for first time users.

Kind regards,

Hello All,

Thanks for reviewing and sharing with your network.  We are actively hiring

In case we're not on your radar, Meebo is a web based instant messaging
client that serves over 95 million users and allows you to chat with your
friends no matter what chat service they call home. We're now starting to
show up on top content sites, such as Mashable and Justin.tv, as an embedded
universal chat and sharing feature called Community IM. We are also known
for the innovative rich media and interactive ads we've developed for some
of the top brands in the world for display on our site and on partner sites
through Community IM. These activities have all led to quite an upswing in
media buzz about meebo making now a great time to consider joining our team.



*Job Description:*

directly on developing the core site pages. Our ideal candidate will have a
passion for developing clean content-driven user interfaces, an eye for

fantastic opportunity to apply your talents in a fun, fast paced startup
environment. Members of our team tend to be nice, humble, genuine, and fun!

Responsibilities include:

   * Work towards weekly and bi-weekly deadlines on the creation and
development of high-visibility, high-quality content-driven user interfaces
   * Work collaboratively with developers and visual designers to ensure a
clean product
   * Assist in testing regularly scheduled releases
   * Willingness to have fun and be part of an exciting growing team! Did we
mention fun?

Our ideal candidate will have:

   * 2+ years solid experience in building sites with Django
   * 2+ years of experience in HTML, visual/Web design
   * Degree in Human Computer Interaction, Computer Science (or equivalent)
   * Excellent communication and collaboration skills
   * A fastidious attention to detail (you noticed the double space in the
intro paragraph)
   * Previous experience with DHTML, CGI, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, Python and
other Web applications a plus
   * An appreciation for visual design (e.g. color schemes, typography, and
layouts)
   * An obsession with delivering the best user experience possible
   * A passion for visual design and Web technologies and the desire to work
in a fast-paced, collaborative, and fun environment!

Look forward to connecting with you!
