I like 'em, though I think I'll ditch the "The"s.

As an aside, here's a thought on a way of marketing Django in the face of TurboGears and it's don't-reinvent-the-wheel philosophy (which is gaining it a lot of well deserved attention). Django is a set of loosely coupled components designed to work well together - but all of them (with the exception of Django core) can easily be replaced with alternatives thanks to their loosely coupled nature. I might work a variation on that theme in to the presentation.

Cheers,

Simon
