Another django-registration update
This one’s just a quick heads-up, but if you’re following django-registration you’ll want to take note: I’ve been doing a series of minor releases since 0.3, and it’s now up to 0.3p5.
There have been a few bugfixes since 0.3 that you’ll want, and also some important changes:
- The example templates have been removed. They were simply causing too much hassle from expectations that they’d work perfectly out-of-the-box for everyone, so I yanked them out. This shouldn’t affect anyone because you should be writing your own templates, but it’s worth calling attention to.
- French and German translations have been added.
- A packaged version of django-registration is working its way into Debian Linux, courtesy of Raphael Hertzog, who’s also done quite a bit of work on their Django package.
if you’re running from a packaged release, I recommend taking a look at 0.3p5. As always, bug reports are welcome in the issue tracker, and I’d love to see more translations.
Updated 8 October: Peter Nixon writes to tell me that a django-registration package is also available for SuSE Linux, and he’s working to keep it up-to-date.

Quick suggestion, but why not move the example templates to the project’s Wiki? That would continue to give people a leg up when starting a fresh project and moving them out of code and into “documentation” keeps people from complaining as much when they don’t work out the box as expected.

Removing templates is a bad idea as it give’s people insight how the thing works. Maybe completing them more would usefull

All of the templates used by the application are fully documented, which should be more than enough for people to figure out what goes into them. And I’ve had too many people complaining because they tried to use the example templates straight out of the box and felt they should magically work with any site; removing the example templates removes that temptation.

I’ve had exactly the same experience in distributing example templates with a Django application that I wrote. If you provide example templates, no one but the most dedicated will write their own, and any conventions that you use in writing the templates will be taken to be a precondition for using the application.

Hi,
Is there any place where we could download the templates? They would be a good starting point to build our owns…
Thanks!
