This is the first time I've seen Django CMS, but it looks interesting. How hard is it to integrate into an existing Django site?
Off-topic, but since CMS-related submissions come up rather scarcely nowadays: What are some promising, modern Web Content Management Systems for medium-sized sites that I should look at, especially if I like the clean, modular design of ProcessWire very much, but not its implementation (too slow even with caching enabled)? I don't care about the programming language (PHP is fine, so is anything else). What I do care…
It's really a kludge to define 'page types' for (say) a book - a book is a book, not a page.
So in Django you define a book, in a modular application, and then define how it's displayed or represented, which of course could include having its own page - but also allows you to connect it to all kinds of other meaningful data.
django CMS is designed to allow you to integrate such modular applications. The tutorial http://docs.django-cms.org/en/develop/introduction/index.htm... covers this, in the section "Integrating a third-party application".

The CMS I use the most is Umbraco. It's an open-source ASP.NET CMS that I've used on a varied range of sites, from small to very large. It has its flaws, like most of these types of tools, but I recommend downloading it, and giving it a quick test.

Beyond the documentation, they have a demo if you want to find out: https://control.aldryn.com/demo/get-new/
"Sorry, we've temporarily run out of demo websites. Please try again soon! " Interesting wording.

We don't want to dash anyone's expectations, but the release notes do advise: "your Apple Watch is sadly unlikely to provide a very good django CMS editing experience."

That's the HN effect. Demo sites are "pre-deployed" to make sure you get a fresh individual site. Usually there are hundreds of them in the waiting but looks like we've got very popular all of a sudden :) If you'd like to give it a try and don't have patience to wait for a demo site to become available, you can also register to Aldryn [ http://www.aldryn.com/ ] (for free) and deploy your own site with a few clicks.

Drupal 8 just dropped a couple weeks ago and will do everything you just listed out of the box. The code under the hood appears to be vastly more pleasant and interesting to work with than any other PHP CMS I know of, including previous versions of Drupal.
It allows you to reuse that structured content in many ways, everywhere.
(Django CMS as demonstrated in the video is purely about building pages, which makes it — if I'm being a bit harsh — just a glorified MS FrontPage.)
Is this still a Terrible Tree of Widgets design?
Awful authoring experience for non-technical users. Which doesn't mean it's not excellent for certain use cases :)
