Interesting article (for an American who didn't even know about the UK scandal).
How much of a coincidence is it that the main Guardian developer is also one of the co-authors of Django? Article reads as a very nice endorsement of Django.
The Guardian are really, really good people - and I'm not just saying that because our startup works with them. The fact that they're working with HN-reading startups says quite a bit anyway, though, doesn't it?

Well, hopefully simonw (http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=simonw) will drop in on this thread himself...
But the Guardian were certainly (justifiably) pretty delighted when Simon started working there - check the press release: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/aug/22/guardianmediagro...
