It's "should have"; the contraction is "should've".
I always thought the grammar police had weekends off.

Am I the only one who thinks that people who are correcting the grammar and spelling are actually doing a service. It really doesn't matter in a forum like this.But if you have poor grammar,you may find that the impression you make on other people may be less than stellar.A good command of the language can be incredibly valuable.

Grammar correction is somewhat a conundrum. On the one hand, it IS sort of rude to point out the faults of another, especially as it can often be attributed to expedient typing. On the other hand, if I made a mistake and didn't realize, I'd REALLY REALLY want someone to point it out to me, so that I could learn from it.
Completely aside though, it's interesting to me how poor grammar seems to spread. Until about two years ago, I had honestly NEVER seen anyone use "should of" in print, and now it seems to be a prevalent mistake.
Django, http://schoolrack.com We (the developers) are actually beginning to feel like it's one of the biggest Django sites on the interweb right now. Definitely not trying to toot my own horn here, but we're gaining users like mad and traffic is insane. Disclaimer: I figure the OP's question is more directed at HN members rather than YC startups, but for the record we're not a YC startup
Sorry to call you out, but your directly quantified Quantcast results show you at less than 1k uniques per day. There are a LOT of Django sites out there with considerably more traffic and it misrepresents the size of the Django community to suggest that, "one of the biggest Django sites" is only serving a few hundred hits a day.

A tripling of your traffic in 30 days during the 'off' season is a pretty good showing in my book, as long as it wasn't when coming from '10' users to '30' users :)
Why? I have being using PHP for almost 10 years, so it was a lot easier to switch to a PHP framework when I switched to an open source framework about 3 years ago. PHP is also easier to get on a shared hosting (maybe not anymore, but at the time I made my switch, it was a major concern).
Like : API, doc, large community.
Dislike : php syntax (->), no active record, PHP4 support (no real visibility control), deployment on windows/ISS is no easy task.
But future looks good as they plan to drop PHP4 quite soon with 1.3.

I hate "->".

I believe the OP, I don't mind sharing my own stats, we're somewhere between 10 and 15 K uniques daily, google has us pegged at about 100k uniques (don't ask me what they're smoking there, probably something to do with subdomains), here is the alexa graph comparing ww.com and schoolrack.com, you can draw your own conclusions. http://alexa.com/siteinfo/schoolrack.com+ww.com A tripling of your traffic in 30 days during…
