I've always sort of envisioned that oil would become "motorcycle / classic car fuel" and whatever ugly cars normal people end up buying in the next 20 years would run on electricity generated by a combination of some sort of next-gen nuclear, wind, and solar. There's enough petrolheads that will gladly pay $20/gallon to take their Camaro to the track on weekends.

Yes. A thousand times yes. I think the reason more people don't do it this way is because the documentation emphasizes how declarative models, forms, admin classes, etc are, and people forget that it's all just Python.

So, it looks like this is going insanely well, as a kickstarter.

What do you plan to do with the excess money, if you raise more than the highest, £7000 amount? Donate the remainder to the Django Software Foundation, hopefully?

I only met Malcom once, during the Djangocon US 2009 sprints. Having never contributed to an open source project before, I naturally had no clue what I was doing, but he still managed to make me feel like I had something to offer. What a great loss to the Django/Python community.

Well, to be fair, SixFeetUp is based in Fortville, Indiana (a bit far away from the "reality distortion field" you mention).

Also, with more and more colleges switching to Python as their Computer Science major's language of choice, finding a team of competent Pythonistas is getting easier. I would think that it helps tremendously to be able to hire remote workers (especially since a town of 4,000 probably won't have more than a couple of people who are Plone experts, at most!)
