Richard, That is where most people who are looking for something *in that space* look first - i.e. they have a set of requirements where those platforms are a good fit for what they're trying to do, but it isn't the only space. Those people aren't the people who pay my wages at present because, as I said, I'm currently not building applications where any of those would be a good fit :). I originally selected Django because I was looking for something that was specifically not in the space that, say, drupal is in as although some of the facilities it and other vaguely similar frameworks provide could have been of use, a lot of what they provided wasn't a good fit or was just irrelevant and if using them I would have been forced into doing things a less-than-ideal way.
As you got more specific in this thread your approach seemed to be orientating towards "selling" Django by "selling" Django-based applications of a certain type (a bit like "selling" Zope by "selling" Plone, perhaps?) and thus the path to that being to sort out those applications. I'm not saying it's not a valid approach (having great re-usable applications is no bad thing), I'm just saying it's not the only approach and that the space you talk about is not the only requirement space where Django is useful.
