+== Reserved name on an application causes import error ==
+
+==== Symptom ====
+
+After creating a new app, with a model that validates, the page request errors out due to existing (and theoretically) available module that can't be loaded.
+
+==== Possible cause ====
+
+Check to see that you didn't use a reserved name in naming your application, i.e. "email", "date" and "time" are common application names that would validate when the server starts but will cause an error when requested.  
+
+==== Solution ====
+
+Rename your application using a non-reserved name, i.e., "email_app" instead of "email". Don't forget to do a syncdb to create the newly renamed app in your database. You may also want to go in to your database and drop the old "mis-named" table.
