Set up using virtualenv (for compartmentalising), pip (for installing) and South (because you will need it as your models change). 3. djangosnippets.org is a good place to start, and to get ideas. > How would you structure the project; > Everything in one app, or how would you split them?

I would put everything in one app - it's seems small enough that this will suffice. Too much fragmentation will just cause headaches.

Just get started - that's the best way to learn. The number of times I got halfway through implementing something and then discovered that there was already a django goody waiting to make life easier for me (slugify, get_absolute_url, SortedDict, actions...) - but I had to know what to ask for first. I think jumping in is especially important if you are new to Django.
