In a moment of complete madness (or brilliance!), I decided to write this app to figure out how various bits of Django I wasn't too familiar with work and interact with each other.

Obviously, alpha state, don't use in production, etc.

By submitting here, I mainly wanted to hear people's opinion on systems/hacks like this one. Although it's a bit .. insane at the moment, with the redirect mode it could come in quite handy - it could, for example, run the collated scripts through a minifier, Clojure, or some sort of obfuscator.

The second reason I wanted to write this was that I try to keep my deployment procedure & scripts as simple as possible, and optimizing the JavaScript on each page on each deployment does not sound simple! Besides, rewriting the templates from the deployment scripts is asking for trouble.

Anyway, hope someone finds this interesting and I'd love any and all feedback.
