Re: a request for some brain picking

oooo ... I do like the idea of having a handful of "standard django
plugables" like django-registration, django-cms, django-profiles, and
dozens of others ... the Django-Resources page would be a good place
to start.

Then designers could upload either a full "website layout" against all
of my, and the "plugable", views or simply a against a subset of the
"plugable" applications. If I "standardize" the blocks that the
designers are allowed to use, then for any missing templates I could
just implement my default template. With some sort of trickery I
could even allow people to create mash-ups combining different
designs.
