Any feedback appreciated. I hope you find the material helpful.

Andrew,
Excellent 3rd article. Thanks again!
I've recommended it to my team, summarizing it as:
- South vs Django 1.7 Native Migrations
- Upgrading from South to Django 1.7 Native Migrations
- New "App Registry"
- New "System Check Framework"
-- Invoke via: % python manage.py check
-- Also runs implicitly as part of most manage.py commands.
-- Has hooks to add your own checks to enforce project standards, like:
--- All Models must have a __str__ method.
- New "Custom Querysets"
-- Often better than writing a custom manager
- Improved prefetch_related()
- New "Custom Lookups"
- Improved form error handling
The App Registry section is not entirely clear to me, probably
because I'm coming from 1.4, not from 1.6.
It might help if you explained how the App Registry relates to
1.4 concepts. Like, I assume it replaces INSTALLED_APPS, plus
a whole lot more, right?
Otherwise, can you suggest where I can find an article similar to
yours that gets me from 1.4 to 1.5 and on to 1.6 before I use
yours to get me from 1.6 to 1.7?
Thanks!
