Busy week in Django-land
The django online book received a chapter update - Inside the template engine, Python creator Guido Rossum announced that he’d starting using Django at the big “G” for a code review critter he called Mondrian, and the crew that’s done the multiple DB support for Django is in the process of merging their work into the mainline!
I really do rather wish we could see Mondrain and get a sense of what Guido cooked up for that code review mechanism. I’ve actually never been involved in a particularly smooth code review process, and I’m curious what technical things he may have used to assist. BTW: I’m not in any way saying that code reviews are bad - the cultures of the companies I’ve been involved with have just made then, er, contentious more than not.

It’s ‘Mondrian,’ but you probably knew that. Didn’t want you to get in dutch with Guido…heh, heh.
