If the extra user information will be needed by other apps (forum and poll, etc) then it should be a separate app such that other apps can depend on it (I do not know if there is a formal way in Django to specify such a dependency) The image upload form and browser can be one app, and the forum can (as you mentioned) be a separate app as well.
I am somewhat new to Django as well, so these suggestions are from my limited knowledge of Django design. -- Thanks & Regards Parag Shah http://blog.adaptivesoftware.biz On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 3:49 AM, Léon Dignòn <leon.dig...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Ok, I have finished the tutorials and learned a lot about Django.
