About Django Packages

Django Packages solves the problem in the Django community of being able to easily identify good apps, frameworks, and packages. Ever want to know which is the most popular or well supported Django blog, content management system, or api tool? Django Packages solves that problem for you!

What is a Django package?

A Django package is anything that is involved in the Django ecosphere that can be stored on a repository such as Github or Bitbucket. If it can be stored in PyPI, that's even better!

When did you code this?

Django Packages was conceived for and coding during Django Dash 2010. Since then we've been feverishly adding more features, improving the design, and trying to make data entry as easy/intuitive as possible.

Can I help?

Django Packages is an volunteer based open source effort. Please submit any ideas or issues and also fork and submit back patches and enhancements.

Because we did the project under the gun some of the code is a bit 'crazy'. We are working on that now. If you do submit, mixing up whitespace cleanup with enhancement/bugfixes will force us to reject your submission out of hand. The reason is that instead of looking at perhaps one line of code, now we'll have to analyze perhaps a hundred or two hundred lines of code.

I want to know more!

Django Packages also has a help section.
