A Question about scope

[esacteksab]

There is the "Django" way, and then there is the "better" way perhaps (better is subjective I realize).

Could/Would there be a book to discuss commonly-used/recommended plug-ins?

Perhaps something like:

django-crispy-forms django-floppy-forms django-thumbs django-user-account (or django registration)

Stuff that just makes Django developer's lives easier? Just thinking out loud.

Again, pulling Python Guide, they have have opinionated recommendations for many different python scenarios.

I think having an Appendix for "Recommended Projects" would be great. Maybe have the format of

1. what do you want to accomplish
2. recommended projects that help you accomplish that
3. tradeoffs?

Maybe starting off the page with an index:

• storing user uploaded files in the cloud (django-storages)
• easily generating thumbnails (django-thumbs, django-athumbs, sorl-thumbnails)
• extending user accounts/profiles
• pinax?

I think having this page would be pretty sweet, since I can't think of anything like this on the django website, python guide doesn't really focus on django projects, and having an up to date source for what works with DJ1.4 would be pretty sweet. (And I have plenty of experience from my current job integrating random projects)
