A Django blog engine leveraging only existing reusable apps, and
django-snippets. The project itself defines no models (db schemas).
The project was conceptualized for a Django-NYC lightening talk, with the goal of introducing Django developers to the concepts behind integrating existing reusable apps in their project, as well as leveraging virtualenv, virtualenv wrapper, and pip into the workflow.
To read more about all the reusable apps that Mingus employs, read The apps that power Django-Mingus.
It also comes with 5 default themes to choose from (really just varying color schemes). They are Basic, Dark, Django, Minimal, and JeffCroft. You can view them here
Please submit issues, bugs, ideas, suggestion, etc., on the project issues page.

Tested with pip version 0.8.3.
It also assumes you have both subversion, mecurial, and git clients locally.
Django-Mingus also comes with 4 additional themes: Django(green), Minimal (black/white), Dark (black), Basic
(beige/red), JeffCroft (brown/pink). You can view them here.
To switch “themes” just change this line in templates/base.html:
You’ll notice the themes/basic.css text – change that to one of the existing themes (‘django’, ‘minimal’, ‘jeffcroft’, ‘dark’), or edit away on your own!
