:)

 The django filesystem loader is a python module that looks for
templates in a list of locations specified in a config file. The
app_directories loader looks for templates in a folder called
'templates' in all your django apps. It all makes sense really!

 In django terms, an 'app' is a well-defined sub-section of a
'project'. The project is basically one web server and one database
per project, and there may be a blogging 'app', a CMS app, a FOSS4G
workshop booking app all sitting in that project.

 The django app does need its own name, its a shame that marketing is
branding everything as 'apps' these days.

 Would you be less irritated if they'd been called 'djanglets'?

 Enjoy your hangover!
