Django Hidden Hires

Interesting, but I'm a bit shy about hiring people through channels like this, worried that they really have only worked with Django or only want to work with Django.

This is new. Is it me, or does Django seem to be picking up steam (vs Rails et al)? Don't remember seeing calls for Django developers before.

Part of the point is that we pre-screen developers (and employers) to ensure that people are high quality -- and that they have actually used Django before. We are requiring open source code to be shown (or having a good reason for not having any). Along with doing basic interview-style questions to prove that you actually understand Django on a non-trivial level.

Design is pretty, but in Firefox 3 for some reason the text is nigh unreadable.

Light typeface, low contrast colors and non-perfect text rendering. Welcome to the custom font age.
