Had discussions on an idea during DjangoCon Europe that I thought I'd just throw out there on this list as well:
What if the Django project provided free hosting for small projects, so that any newcomer who went through the tutorial or similar could actually deploy their application somewhere in as few steps as possible, a mini-Heroku of sorts. I think it could be of immense value for someone who built their first thing to show it to their friends without having to delve deep into devops. This could be coupled with easy instructions on how to move that application to proper hosting such as Heroku or AWS. There are so many aspects of this that would have to be solved (how to limit, auth, etc.), so this is just testing the idea.
