my 0.02 cents would be to stick with Django 1.1, for the simple reason
that it eases adoption. As far as I can see, Django packages shipping
are just moving from 1.0.x to 1.1.x, and dropping a big dependency to
be managed differently from the standard system packages, is an
impediment. I heavily doubt that, by the time you intend to release
Satchmo 1.0, you'll see significant adoption of Django 1.2 by
distributions.

I like the general idea of being able to install Satchmo on a vanilla
*nix of your favourite flavour.


Other areas that I personally like to see improved:

* A kind of "roadmap" that leads the way through the source code would
  be nice.

* A troubleshooting guide for developers would be nice, too. Eg. I'm
  wrestling with the satchmo_cart_details_query signal being caught
  twice in my signal handler, resulting in a wrong set of attributes
  for my product type. [NB: I think I saw this issue rehashed on this
  list several times, but without any tangible solution.]

* Breaking the direct calling chain in
  satchmo_store/shop/views/cart.py:{add,add_ajax}
  into pieces and then reconnecting these with signals would be nice
  because it would level the distinction between custom products and
  the built-in products (in products/models.py). The special-casing
  depending on hard-wired product types does not feel like being
  consistent with Satchmo's goal to not require the user to fiddle with
  the core.


Kind regards,

PS: Currently, we program around the "double signal" problem by
    checking if the modification was done already in the listener, thus
    ensuring that it is idempotent. But this feels a bit hackish.
