It's not about having multiple instances of an app in INSTALLED_APPS - it's about having the URLs for an application deployment multiple times in your urls.py. For example - Say you want to have two administration interfaces: a full admin interface for superusers, and a cut down admin interface (that has a limited set of models, and maybe some extra helper views) for editors. You can deploy one instance of the admin app at at /admin, and the second instance at /editors. However, both instances will have an "add new article" named URL (one at /admin/content/article/add, and one at /editors/content/article/add). You need to have a way to distinguish the two named URLs, and namespaces is how you do this. If you're just starting out, you probably don't need to worry about URL namespaces too much. When you start writing your own reusable apps, you'll need to pay more attention to URL namespaces, but for now, get a handle on simple unnamespaced named URLs.
