What about 'syncing' content (if that is the issue)? Dump on production, import on development, add new content, dump on development, import on production?

However, while working on 'gallery' app from the book, it's already mentioned that devserver is not for handling static images and I wanted to try out everything as on 'production' server. btw, Google gave me one nice URL which might be interested for someone else as well: http://martinjansen.com/2008/10/20/django-settings-files-for-development-and-production/ Thank you for your input.
