Eric Holscher also has an excellent blog post, http://ericholscher.com/blog/2010/nov/8/building-django-app-... ,
describing how to deploy using both fabric and chef. There are certain instances where one tool works better than the other, and in that situation that tool is used.
Hi - Think you should require images of all businesses. Whenever I see a listing without an image, no matter what, I will skip it. Also, change the "occurring today" flag to something a bit less sterile sounding. Attractive product, though I am not sure I see the difference to google/yelp as well.
I agree about the images, and it's a definite goal but not an easy one to achieve with the team as small as it is. Some places we'd just have to go visit ourselves and snap pics of, which I actually plan to do eventually.
I'm thrilled you saw the "occurring today" flag honestly, and I'll modify it later. But it's features like that which highlight one of our goals: to provide everything you would ever want to know about a business to you. Google/Yelp take a disconnected approach: a business goes in and can be reviewed for any reason. We aim to know more, specifically what services that business offers, hours of each service, special deals/events going on, etc, all while providing helpful and credible reviews of each service.
That wasn't very clear, sorry: Try installing AWM and docky from source and run them under a different window manager. It should work fine (XFCE is a great alternative to Gnome 3).
