The Django Book: It’s Here! (almost)
After Adrian’s announcement that a Django book was in the pipeline, I just had to place my advance order with Amazon (like many other Djangonauts, I suspect). Since then, news on the book’s progress has been hard to come by. Not any more, though, with the appearance of www.djangobook.com.
This site will allow the Django community to participate in the production of Adrian and Jacob’s book, in much the same way that Bruce Eckel has allowed readers to comment on his material as it is written. Of course, the Django book site is a much more impressive piece of work than Eckel’s system, showing off Adrian and Jacob’s ‘leet web dev skills to the full. It is Django-powered (natch) and distinctively styled, with a neat mechanism for viewing and adding comments and an Atom feed so that we can all keep track of new chapters as they appear. Excellent stuff.

There’s a lot of development on the Django front at the moment, with things like the newforms branch; I assume they want to get that straightened out before returning to the book.
