Catherine: pyOraGeek: right to complaint

“The key is the right to complain safely. When complaints are predictably met with accusations of “overreacting”, “political correctness”, and “intolerance”, the resulting message is: Be like us, be silent, or leave.”

The Django community in 2009

In March of 2007, I attempted to measure the size of Django’s community. That March turned out to be a major inflection point in Django’s growth: the release of 0.96 brought a lot of new features — testing and the new forms library being the critical ones — and those in turn brought in a lot of new users. Growth since then has been at a much faster pace. Today I thought it’d be interesting to review the same metrics I used back then. I was quite curious to see what’s changed, and by how much.
