Django applications can have tests, models, views, urls, forms, management commands, tasks, etc. or any subset of these, though tests are often required. With an app, you can customize every aspect of your Mezzanine(Django(Python)) project. Remember that Mezzanine is just an Django app. You currently have a project. The Django way is to make apps in the root of your project, though some groups like to create an "apps" directory. 6 == 0.5*12. Perhaps call your app "registration". Take advantage of the Django startapp management command, documented at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#startapp-app-label-destination . It is always difficult in an email to know exactly which path through the documentation the writer has taken. If you have not yet completed the the official Django Tutorial, I urge you to. Ross Laird also wrote a bunch of excellent blog posts that cover getting started with Mezzanine. ken -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mezzanine Users" group.
