this book is a great find, thanks.

a little OT but i had a great first-hand introduction to it here in Madrid 
by the primary developer, Adrian Holovaty. he's approached the design of 
Django with a real focus on structured data and human-readable dynamic 
path generation. i was really impressed by its flexibility and scope;
testimony in some respects to those same qualities in the Python language.

i left the talk keen to move a couple of my sites to the Django CMS at 
some point..

cheers,

julian
