I wish I could help with your questions, but I'm more on your side of the coin (about to build a Django site with some social functionality) and so I have some questions of my own for you, if you don't mind.. :) How have you found Django for building your site? How long did it take? Were there any specific tools / Django apps / guides that helped you out along the way?
