I haven't written any django apps since around 1.3, but I always keep a checkout of recent django source handy.

The code's pretty rich with good ideas. It's a useful reference if I'm struggling to come up with a good way to solve a particular problem.

I've been using django personally since .9ish and it has become my de facto reference when trying to come up with good implementation ideas myself.

Would be really handy to have a list of vetted, good quality bsd licenced code bases.

It can be tricky finding reliable reference material. E.g. there's quite a few extremely popular python projects who's code is a bit of a lemon.

Sounds like there is an idea in the works here - submit code and have the public vet it and decide, ultimately, if it is good and bad. Allow discussions?

That could turn pretty sour quickly though.

I would love to see a web-of-trust style security review for open source code. Certain users would have a higher rank for their thumbs-up if they have a high degree of trust in the network.

Awesome! (psyched about bugfix #21439, that was confusing when it happened to me). Thanks for crushing it guys!
