Can you let us know (either via support@gondor.io or the #gondor channel on freenode) what problems you encountered? For some people, things go very smoothly out of the box; others hit assumptions we made that don't always apply (or aren't well documented yet, etc). Please help us fix the latter case.
For us things have worked out of the box. But we are really looking forward to background tasks (celery) and caching.
