If Django were created today, which batteries would you expect to be included in core?

Ok, I’ll bite:

  • some type of serialization for APIs built-in
  • cleaner user authentication story (see here for more)
  • a basic local to production settings toggle that allowed for simple deploys
  • an option for an enhanced startproject that has more features, similar to DjangoX and other such efforts

Payments and billing sounds amazing but I have to admit that seems tough to implement/maintain as an open source project.

But I think the biggest thing is Django needs help marketing/maintaining itself, which means hiring an Executive Director :grinning:
