django-guestbook 0.1

What is it?

Guestbook is a simple guestbook application for the Django web-framework. It is closely based on the contributed comments application.

Guestbook is build to work against a late pre-1.0 checkout and should be 1.0-compatible.

More info about this app can be found in the blog post introducing it at: http://cooking.visualspace.nl/post/9992059/Django-Guestbook-application

Status

This app is currently being used in several small-scale production environments. However, it is probably that it still has a few kinks so feel free to submit bugfixes.
