Source code to djangoproject.com now available
We've made available the full Django source code and templates that power this site. Just browse to the appropriate place in our code repository and explore.
This site in particular makes much use of "generic" views, which haven't been documented yet -- but will be, soon. They're a way of creating a site without needing to writing any Python view code: All you do is create your URLconf and templates.

you guys rock!
could you set the TracBrowser to show python sources aswell?

Wow! you seem to be reading my mind.
I was wondering, "....If I could look at some of the projects that use Django...",
Frankly, releasing (exposing?) this site's code, you have shown that Django has nothing to hide ;) and that gives a LOT of confidence to people who want to use Django in a production environment.
Thanks!

This site is so well designed... especially:
* Integration from ReST in Subversion to HTML on website
* Integration with Trac
* Allowing blog-style comments instead of wiki-editing the entire page *and* up-front telling people that comments will be read, rolled-up into the docs, and deleted (like in the FAQ)-- that's a good thing... as long someone follows through on the read/edit/deletion…
I dislike changing someone's wiki, not knowing if I'm changing things the way they want them to be changed... but I'm more likely to add a comment for someone else to process. :-)
If nothing else, expect to see lots of projects start using Django, not because of the framework (which is good), but because of the 'lickability' of the website's UI.

Oh wow.
I thought you guys were going to sell the software for bajillions of dollars. This is a tremendous gift to the world of online journalism. I just hope others take the bait.

Jason: someone is read/editing/deleting (i.e. "me"), although I'm somewhat behind.
And thanks for the nice comments, everyone.

a suggestion for a future versions of the djangoproject website: create a view that lets the comments be accessed from one page so that it makes it easier for people to find (and re-find) useful comments without requiring visiting every document and scrolling to the bottom.

scott, regarding comments all in one page... that kinda reminds me of this:
http://holovaty.com/blog/latestcomments/
The only change would be to allow the user to access all comments, not just the most recent 15.

I believe you guys are looking for this:
Comments are closed
To prevent spam, comments are no longer allowed after sixty days.

Wow, you guys are cranking out non-stop. Great! :)
