Release early, release often :-). We decided to launch this as soon as we thought other people could benefit from it. That day is today.

As stated in the docs, the server-side auto-deploy code assumes you're running Ubuntu. Removing such assumptions is a high priority (see TODO.md).

That said, the whole "start a new pre-configured Django project with lots of stuff pre-configured" thing is ready now and only assumes you're on a Unixy OS.

Even though it doesn't seem to be the case when viewing the README, this is more for automatically creating a Django app rather than the deployment process. There are things like Chef, or even Fabric, which are far more swag for auto-deployment.

The core aspect of this is the Django defaults and the front-end stuff. The server scripts are in a separate folder for a reason.
