Guide to porting a Django 0.96 app to 1.0.

Profiling in GAE

Quoted: To profile your application's performance, first rename your application's main() function to real_main(). Then, add a new main function to your application, named profile_main()such as the one below:

Quoted: This document explains how middleware works, how you activate middleware, and how to write your own middleware. Django ships with some built-in middleware you can use right out of the box; they’re documented in the built-in middleware guide.

Quoted: This document explains all middleware components that come with Django. For information on how how to use them and how to write your own middleware, see the middleware usage guide.

Quoted: Simple, keyed chunks of content you can insert into your templates

Think of it as flatpages for small bits of reusable content you might want to insert into your templates and manage from the admin interface.

This is really nothing more than a model and a template tag.

By adding chunks to your installed apps list in your Django project and performing a ./manage.py syncdb, you'll be able to add as many "keyed" bits of content chunks to your site.

The idea here is that you can create a chunk of content, name it with a unique key (for example: home_page_left_bottom) and then you can call this content from a normal template.
Why would anyone want this?

Well it essentially allows someone to define "chunks" (I had wanted to call it blocks, but that would be very confusing for obvious reasons) of content in your template that can be directly edited from the awesome Django admin interface. Throwing a rich text editor control on top of it make it even easier.

Quoted: What Does django-clevercss Do?

This project allows you to create CleverCSS stylesheets using the classic Django administration utility. The use of a template tag, get_clever_css, will allow you to use these stylesheets that are stored in your database. The template tag retrieve the stylesheet by its title and spits out a file on the filesystem each time the stylesheet changes in the database. This slightly reduces the amount of overhead because the CleverCSS stylesheet does not need to be parsed for each page request.

Didn't read this but it looks like an ok intro.
