Hi, I don't want to get it into the django project itself, so I'm sorry, if I choose the wrong ml. I'm searching for informations how to build such a project for other developers, like, where should this sources be installed to. With most external projects I found and tried out myself I had problems integrating them into our own project without any changes inside the external project. Within the Django documentation, I found informations about coding guidelines,but I did not find any best pratices for embedding such libraries inside the Django installation. So I hope to get some hints, where to find such informations.

The next step depends on exactly what you're proposing. The fact that you're posting to django-developers (which is the mailing list for discussing the development of Django itself) suggests that you might be proposing this as something that should be added to Django itself. If this is indeed the case, then you need to open a ticket, describe your proposal in detail, and prepare a patch that can be applied to trunk. Then, when the v1.3 feature discussion period starts (which should be in a bit over a week), you can advocate for your proposal. However, if what you're proposing is a standalone project, then get an account on sourceforge/Google Code/github/bitbucket, upload your code, make sure you package it with a setup.py, submit it to PyPI, and announce it to the world on django-users (the mailing list for general users of Django). Even if you're ultimately aiming at the first option, the second option may be a better approach - proposals for trunk get a lot more traction if they've proven themselves as standalone projects.
