#2that is a nice development and google should give some support or contribution for that.
It does reduce the barrier to use Django in AppEngine and does remove the need for the cloudsql db instance(mysql)

#3I haven't used either approach, but how does using this project compare to just using NDB directly with the Django middleware?

Djangae lets you use the Django ORM with the Datastore, meaning you don't have to use NDB. It also has lots of other helpers for things like deferred tasks.
The Django NDB middleware written by Google, as far as I can work out, just makes sure that writes are flushed. You still have to define and query your models using NDB syntax.

Yes, I am pronouncing it like I pronounce reggae.

#8This has actually been done many years ago. http://django-nonrel.org . Don't know how it differs from this one, but it has many of the same features. Used it for a project 4 years ago.
How is performance compared to using cloud sql ?

#9As Django developer for over 6 years, sorry guys I don't see the benefits of hacking the framework in this case. I know so many people love django out there and try to apply it as much as they can. When you think you go with the-easy-thing, you're going to make it harder.
BTW, depending on the purpose, I will go with another frameworks, even another languages.

CloudSQL works great for django, I suppose that these attempts to port django to cloudstore are looking for the free tier that is provided. In theory you could host an app for free if it's small and uses the datastore. While with cloudSQL you'd have to spend some money
