So as someone who has just started my first Django project, is there any reason not to immediately switch to 1.3?

Most people dev off of trunk when they're starting out, actually. If you're doing that, 1.3 doesn't offer anything exciting.

Read the release notes:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.3/

If there's no conflicting code changes compared to what you've already written, upgrade away!

If there are changes needed to support the new version you'll have to weigh the time needed to implement the changes to the new features/improvements in the new version; is it worth it? Only you can make that decision.

I wonder if they were tempted to give it the codename "WordPress"

hm?

Wordpress initially gave their latest release the code name Django (they always use jazz musicians as a theme), but quickly changed it to Reinhardt after a few polite complaints.
