What's funny about this is that Onion is an online publisher just like the newspaper guys who wrote Django. This would have been more of a story if Django was incapable of fulfilling their needs.
- josephd 17y agoAre you contending that Django cannot do much beyond CMS? I think the contrary here.
- icey 17y agoI don't think that's his point at all. He's saying that they are playing directly into Django's strengths and therefore Django should work very well for them.
- josephd 17y agoThanks for clearing that out. Most people who discuss Django and other frameworks seem to hammer out the point about its CMS heritage a lot: as a way of contrasting it from Rails' web app heritage for instance, with some strange insinuations inferred. However, a quick glance at djangosites.org suggests that Django has been used for a wide array of projects from ecommerce to photo sharing and dating sites etc.,(not forgetting a newly discovered redditplus.com). And these are just a small sample reflecting the rapid evolution of the tool beyond its CMS heritage.
- orblivion 17y agoWell any number of things are supposed to do something but never seem to take off. I think it's newsworthy that Django got this level of validation.
