Malcom, Thanks for replying.
Let me try to explain a little more. When I said "get a list of XYZ training courses" I did mean getting the Course objects back and doing a little logic with them. Something I'd want on the XYZ main page would be a listing of upcoming training courses for XYZ by location. Other than that the XYZ site would be completely separate from the training site. I'd have urls like... http://someserver/XYZ/announements/ http://someserver/XYZ/presentations/ http://someserver/XYZ/newsletters/ http://someserver/XYZ/contact/ http://someserver/XYZ/about/ For training I'd have http://someserver/training/courses/ http://someserver/training/categories/ http://someserver/training/categories/mathcad/ http://someserver/training/categories/xyz/ http://someserver/training/offerings/ http://someserver/training/categories/ Again, I know this is dead simple if I have my training application and my XYZ application in the same Django project. Because it is so dead simple I am wondering if it is the wrong thing to do. What I'm asking is if this can this be done if they are in two different Django projects using only Django (no web services / soap / RCP)?
