Cool, I've just started using Django so it's good to see it's still being developed.

Django seems to be a pretty active project, so I'm not sure what gave you the impression that it wasn't developed:

Looks like the 1.2.2 security release they did earlier this week was a bit rushed, partially because the security issue was reported via the public bug tracker instead of the security contact address.

It's a little worrying that the release is essentially just a fix for patch and package mistakes in 1.2.2. I know that 1.2.2 was a pretty urgent security update, but to re-update it a day later because the patch was broken and you botched the packaging just doesn't fill me with confidence.

I'm a Django fan, but in defense of this guy this is a pretty insignificant thing to post to HN.

I have to agree that a routine update to security features hardly qualifies as front-page news. No wonder the Ruby guys think Python is no fun!

We should whip up some artificial controversy based on personality clashes between two or more immature community icons!
