FAQ

General

How did Django Packages get started?

  • In 2010 We realized there was no effective method for finding apps in the Django community.
  • After launch we realized it might be good to use the same software system for other package sets.

Are there any Case Studies?

How can I contribute?

How can I add a listing for a new Package or an entirely new Grid?

What browsers does Django Packages support?

We do formal tests on Chrome, Safari and Firefox.

How hard is it to add support for a new repo?
