It is not even comparable to Drupal or Joomla. Drupal and Joomla are mature web applications (they were originally CMSs and they allow editing the site up to a point (not every single thing)), but Django is a framework (consider it a programming language-like system that allows you to write web applications like Drupal or Joomla). > > If I want to use another framework and have it appear as the same > site, how easy is it to integrate stuff like session and user > functionality? That depends on the "another framework" you are talking about. If the "another framework" has session and user functionality (which one doesn't?) you should be able to integrate them into your new system. On the other hand, if you are not sure if Django is the right choice for you, I would advice sticking to what system you already know. > > It is a social site, so I might need like antibot, antispam, forums, > dating, Facebookintegration, OpenID, chat, Wiki, notifications.
