Before I discovered Pelican the golifescience site was built on top of Django, and went through a number of iterations as part of previous now-defunct projects. As a result there is a stash of reasonably useful Django code sitting in a repo.
It's released here for archive purposes and as Django free-for-all. If you would like to use any of the code contained within, please do. If you would like to help package any up into releaseable Django apps, please let me know.
