There are some very cool submissions, and they're all open source. First place was a site meant to be run only locally; it's for developers to manage all their other projects. After dreaming of something similar for a while, it's great to see it happen (with code!). Now if only it worked with pip instead of buildout...

For something built in 48 hours, they are all pretty impressive. Some of the project really had good visual designers.

Very impressive. Haven't heard about Django Dash before. As such it took me a few minutes to understand what's going on. Had to scroll down to read what the site is all about.

Am I the only one that had a hard time understanding what they projects are for? The could really use 2 sentences on each page describing what the project is all about.

  Indeed. I think that also goes for the about page, which functions more like a FAQ right now.

  I think generally you have to go to the repository page, and then the README. Djangodash was organized by volunteers, and for many groups, their scope (README) changed over the course of the weekend.

For those that don't know: Django Dash is a competition to build a django-powered project in 48 hours. There were not many other guidelines. It is organized by volunteers, and sponsors shilled out for prizes. Judging was based on "Innovation, Polish, Code Quality and Design". There were three judges. Lots of interesting projects came out of the dash, and two of my favorites are. Read the Docs, a sort of community place for Sphinx based Docs http://readthedocs.org http://readthedocs.org and Django Packages http://djangopackages.com http://djangopackages.com My company was a sponsor and I also competed, it was fun, and I learned a lot about Google App Engine. (http://permachart.appspot.com http://permachart.appspot.com was my team's entry)

DjangoDash was a lot of fun. My project http://phonetapapp.com http://phonetapapp.com ended up placing 2nd for a single dasher and 16th overall.

  That's really neat. Cool use of the twillo api.

I like this. As one of the folks working on Djangy.com, I'd like to apologize for their required use of App Engine. It's coming, guys :-)
