I have started a good chunk of the base for the project. The really big remaining part is getting the starts to each diffrent sub set of the site that everyone will use as well as replacing the Django admin with a more custom built admin. To allow better and faster administration of the website.
>From what I understand the Google App Engine isn't meant so much as a hosting platform but as a means to offset work from your web site. i.e. parsing data. You allowed a lot of bandwith and cpu space but only 500mb of space. Not really a lot to run a website. The other we would have to battle is that its still in a some what closed beta.
