That's lot of work done to maintain open source project.

There were recent threads why maintainers bundle crapware to support themselves.

Companies (and we individual users) should definitely support this kind of initiative to maintain healthy community https://www.djangoproject.com/fundraising/


Thanks for releasing it.

Was thinking about using Ansible for some time, but haven't. Now this is easy to get started.


Indeed, big libraries supporting Python 3 is rapidly growing http://py3readiness.org

Heck, apart from few - even those which are not supporting Py3k now have alternative package in PyPi. So it's positive sign.


I ordered a domain recently on Namecheap, with free privation registration addon.


Namecheap is generally free WhoisGuard for a year on new registrations


Depends on how you see it.

Looks like author is deeply affected by what happened there recently, which must have distracted a lot. That he links with focus.

So, in a way - I find it okey, very unusual though.


This is exact my thought as well.

If OP is more worried about maintenance of project, Django gives foundation to build upon with sane conventions.

Anyone who reads few pages of Django Docs should be able to pick up quickly.

PS. I happen to currently maintain project written by other people with no docs.


That can be quite an inspiration for people who spend most of free time on Facebook (Including me who didn't finish 10 books Goodreads challenge last year :D)


I watched Citizenfour yesterday and one of the really disturbing parts of movie was Lavabit founder talking at European Parliament about why he had to shut it down. I am glad that something good is coming up.

But can we please change name from 'dark' to something like 'secure, encrypted etc'? Dark inherently sounds negative, at least in my part of the world.


He had to shut it down - but as far as I remember, they got the SSL key anyway. None can tell me that providing it in a font size of 4pt would have stopped them. I think that typing 2560 chars is not that hard.


Maybe Safemail?


FYI, if the ban on Github is hampering your collaboration during day to day development, you can also self host Gitlab https://about.gitlab.com which is working great for us.
