Dear all (and especially Russel!))) Thank you so much for your efforts to clarify on the subject. Frankly, I didn't expect THAT useful replies, indeed. Lot of things have been given proper places. In a nutshell, and in addition to what has been mentioned above, I am wondering if there is some description of Django's best practices or case studies in terms of a webproject layout. Although Django doesn't force developers to follow one way or another, there should be some description of how a good project SHOULD be designed.
Any suggestions?
