I think pinax basic_site is pretty much what you want/need for a sample_website. I would be +1 for a link to Pinax project at the end of the tutorials. Ayayalar: pinax-0.5.0.tar.gz Once the download is complete, uncompress it and you should be

One thing I wanted to add Russell's comment about "code examples get out dated too". I didnt mean to provide code examples through documentation. What I meant is a "bundled sample site" that utilizes the Django API to provide code examples. When you hook such thing to Django package as an "Accepta
