I thought I would chime in here as well, having a good deal of code written
for WordPress, and now some experience with Django.

I had originally contemplated the same idea, create a plugin system like
that of WP until I started to understand the power of applications.  In my
mind it would be a terrible amount of work to create a system to read a
plugin's structure, handle permissions (if needed) and then be compatible
with the template system, when it's very simple to create an app to do
something pluggable (say a classifieds application).  The ease with which
you can build new features in django, and make them available to other
projects far outweighs any advantage I can think with some kind of plugin
system (just my opinion).  I try to write the applications for my project as
if they needed to be pluggable, as few dependancies as possible, etc.  And
as far as wp filters go, the signal system should be more than capable.

Do your need to provide the ability for another person to write 'plugins' or
functionality for django?  I'm thinking maybe there is something you know
how to do well in wordpress but aren't sure how it's done/available in
django?

Cheers,
Aaron
