Something like Pinax may offer what you need. Its almost like django.contrib but an external project. you can find out more about it here; http://pinaxproject.com/
Or the seperate mailing list; http://groups.google.com/group/pinax-users They are pushing towards improving the main release at the moment, with 0.7 coming soon. I think there will then be migration/upgrade support from then onwards. I believe its coming but not sure what stage it kicks in. Pinax includes a huge number of apps, like django-tagging and more are being added.
