This sounds to me like exactly what we need to discuss, regardless of how we address it. I'm not in favor of adding too much magic to startapp/startproject, except for maybe the templates dir, its relative import and explicitly listing every default settings (AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS included). Again, explicit > implicit. I do however believe that we need to create a section in the docs with some suggestions as to how to layout your project. Perhaps your blog post could be turned into a documentation patch? Too often when I was starting with Django I felt the need for such a guide, and even though we may not agree on one single solution, we should at least point to some "canonical" alternatives which we believe constitute best practices. "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." This is a valid concern and request, and any experienced user will know enough Python and Django to roll out their own customized setup.
