I would like to announce a new project based on django. its a simulation / game used as an aid in teaching a introduction to broadcast class.
" Philonet is a Multi-player on-line role-playing simulation (MORPG) of the tensions between art and commerce in electronic media industries. Named in honor of Philo T. Farnsworth, Philonet is designed for the Introduction to Electronic Media Course in the Broadcast and Electronic Communication Arts Department at San Francisco State University. In the game, students take on the roles of program producers, broadcast networks, and cable television networks in a writing-intensive on-line competition for the audience. Philonet is a case study of the development of an interactive gaming tool to facilitate the Introduction to Broadcast and Electronic Communication Arts Course. " - from www.philonet.tv Some background I wrote the first version in php as a student of the class just to help the teacher move the program onto the web. I was asked to do an independent study to develop the project into a more useful complete version. At that time I was unhappy with php as a solution for the project so I researched alternatives and up came django. As a part of the whole process we wanted to make the project open source. I have setup a developers homepage at developer.philonet.tv and currently I am hosting the repository on google code or untill I can figure out how to get trac working on my current host. so come check out the program if you want to help let me know.
