Why does this need a brand new namespace, and a whole new community, instead of it just being a proposed pull-request to Django mainline?

Like, I understand the need to communicate with new sites and docs and a 'project moniker' and so, but wouldn't realtime just be another commit to the main Django base? If not .. why?



Realtime is a significant change, especially since Django wasn't made to handle long-lived client connections. SwampDragon uses Tornado to overcome this limitation. Plus it comes with a JavaScript component. It nearly turns Django into Meteor! Definitely more than "just another commit". :)


please dont put this in django mainline. this kind of thing is a perfect candidate as a 3rd-party project
