The commonest use case would be something like this: Someone wants to use a Django app to run a site: e.g. using a Django based CMS or forum, or something similar. They have the level of knowledge required to set up a database using their hosts control panel, upload some files, and then navigate to a URL. If they are installing a typical PHP based CMS the rest is a relatively simple GUI install (the most complicated bit is remembering the database username and password). > > > > > > On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 10:41 AM, Alec Taylor <alec.tayl...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Good morning, > > > I have just recently starting migrating over from WordPress and Drupal to > > the world of DJango. > > > First of all, let me say that yes, I am aware that DJango is not a CMS!!! > > > Now, onto my suggestions on how to streamline DJango deployment. > > ____ > > > = What's wrong with the current method? = > > > • Doesn't cater to people who don't know Python > > • Requires the installer to be a developer (pretty much) > > ____ > > > I'm building a social-network catering to student-groups, users-groups and > > game-clans.
