I've worked in a few industries where developers have never heard of git, even if they spend their whole day on a Linux box and are definitely not 'new to software'. That said, it is possible that the subset who use Django are probably likely to be familiar with GitHub given that Django is a web framework. Maybe some explanatory text at the login screen would mitigate the issue. Also, will GitHub oAuth actually solve the sporadic login issues? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
