Nice to see Django moving forward! I've been developing with Django since 2006 and have been frustrated at seeing the steam and community seem to stagnate in comparison to the Rails community. Granted, I've heard the opinions that the Django community is less vocal because they're busy actually building things--which I could agree--but as a fresh developer I could see how the Rails community would seem more inviting. I've played around with a couple good ideas in my head for promoting the Django userbase but haven't gotten around to it.
Me too! Adrian and Jacob have both spread their wings beyond Django and now that EveryBlock is doing well it's nice that Adrian can turn some of his attention back to the community. Some clear official direction can go a long way.
