Django community
By far the coolest part of releasing Django has been the formation of the community. Although Django has only been available for about a month, there's already a number of people writing about Django. To prevent all this great knowledge from being lost in the noise of the Internet, I've added an aggregator of Django information on our community page.
If you write about Django and you'd like to get your weblog added to the aggregator, just drop me a note and I'd be happy to add you.
The aggregator is, of course, written in Django itself (with the aid of Mark Pilgrim's Universal Feed Parser).
Update: There's now an RSS feed of the community page.

Yeah,I also think so.

An OPML feed of the subscription list would also be cool.

Why reinvent the wheel once more ? Wasn't PlanetPlanet (for instance) a good challenger ? Anyway, thanks for this :)

Jacob-
Will you please leave a comment on the main weblog when the feed is enabled, so we know to subscribe without checking here.
Thanks.

What, you're not subscribed to the comment feed? :)

An aggregated feed is a great idea - I'm subscribing to del.icio.us/tag/django at the moment, but there's a lot of repetition.
(I was going to mention the community page link - but Sam got there first)

Great job Jacob. One small thing: the RSS feed should include the name of the source of each item somewhere in the description.
Garth T Kidd August 8, 2005 at 4:15 p.m.
Also, shove the source in a <dc:author> in the <item>; ShapReader and other aggregators will display it under the Author column.
Planet Python seems fairly well done in this respect:
Garth T Kidd August 8, 2005 at 5:35 p.m.
Ow. Ow. Ow. You're not escaping the description in the RSS output. Bad.

Actually, I was talking about the comment feed, but I'm still wrong: it *is* escaped. For whatever reason, SharpReader is double-decoding it. :|

hi:
i think there is a typo in the article "Run your app and Django's admin interface, too" from mr kidd.
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( 'appname.middleware.AdminUserRequiredForAdmin', 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
)
should be ...
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'projectname.settings.middleware.AdminUserRequiredForAdmin', 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
)
but i am pretty new to this so am prepared to be wrong, also this was the only place also i could find to comment on the article - again apologies if i should have put somewhere else.
great article and very useful, it was such a pain the other way.
cheers

hi:
i just had another look where in the article says appname should be projectname - anyway i think that was the intent.
thanks again

Thanks for pointing that out! I've corrected the article.

Nice.

Any chance of providing an RSS or Atom feed of that aggregator? (or if there is already, making it clearer for how to get it).
