This project is part of the community projects from the django-nyc group. Eventually, it will integrate with one of the other django-nyc projects, django-vcs which will provide the ability to browse version control repositories.
The project is currently feature incomplete and is not yet suitable for production use. Oh, and it's buggy and will probably eat your prized possessions.
However, if you insist on living on the edge, the current code is being developed against the latest stable release of Django (currently 1.0.2). The included example_project provides a set of very basic templates to at least get you started. Please note though that this example_project depends on a recent checkout of James Bennett's django-registration. To get started with the django-issues code:
svn checkout http://django-issues.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ django-issues
Then simply:
cd django-issues/example_project ./manage.py syncdb ./manage.py runserver
Please note once again that this is nowhere near feature complete. There are no 'stable' release available.
