Djangogigs and the feedgenerator module posted by Andrew
Read more...Update: Sorry about the escaped markup in the community feed. That's what happens when upgrading your working copy in a rush and not testing everything thoroughly.

I know there's the Developers for Hire page which shows some projects, and there are also some posted in the Google groups but there didn't seem to be a good dedicated site just for this purpose, so we thought we'd give it a go.
Since we're both freelance developers and used to ...

Hijaxing Form Submission: Writing The View posted by Andrew
Read more...After writing about how to use Mootools to hijax form submission I thought I should follow it up with how to integrate this with the backend code. In this case it's Django, so all of the code is contained in a view which will simply return HTML in response to a regular POST and JSON to a XMLHttpRequest. Below is some sample code which demonstrates the idea:
def contact(request): """Sample view to demonstrate using newforms with both hijaxed ...
