2. Django doesn't have one of those nifty "useful application in twenty minutes" tutorials/screencasts. Again, I'm partial to a weblog as the sample app because it's stupidly easy to do in Django and shows off a lot of the nice built-in stuff, and having something visual that people can watch would go a long way toward communicating how simple and effective Django really is.
If we're going to have a weblog building screencast, we should make sure it's unbelievably short - definitely less than 5 minutes, preferably less than 3. If you think about it a basic weblog app is nothing more than a single simple model, the date-based generic views and four templates.
It would be nice if we had some way of speeding up template creation for generic views... then we could get it down to less than a minute :)
