Hello all,

I am completely new to the Django project and have some initial
questions that I hope someone can answer for me.

I have searched this group and the internet looking for this
information, however, I seem unable to find answers.

First, a little background info. After giving rails a shot, I had some
difficultly getting started and came across Django - which, after
installing and playing around with a bit, feels much more comfortable
(I have a very small bit of experience with Python), easier to use,
and more extendable. It also seems to give you more functionality
right off the bat (admin, rss), which makes it faster to utilize for
real tasks like building a data driven site.

While I was able to get a admin interface up and running in a few
hours, and believe I basically understand how the apps work in
relation to a project - I am starting to question whether it would be
better to build an CMS with another toolset/language or build on top
of Django.

The specific task I have in front of me is to build a CMS that can be
customized for different sites and different "views" (templates) while
allowing a CMS admin user to add pages to a site - much like the
radiantCMS built with Rails (http://radiantcms.org/). However, unlike
radiant, I don't want to have to use ANOTHER template language (other
than the one provided with Django) to build my views.

I have looked around for a project or code that implements this
feature using Django and haven't seen anything - is there something
I'm missing, or would this be extremely difficult to create? I would
be happy to contribute to a project or give this away upon completion
- I'm just wondering if Django is the right tool for the job ahead.
Honestly, the auto admin, and Django in general have me geeked - I
really want to focus on using it along with MooTools.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Josh
