+ * '''namespace''': apps should live in `django.apps`, i.e. if your app is named `frobnicate`, your code should be in `django.apps.frobnicate`

+  * FIXME alternative: require use of namespace packages, see http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#namespace-packages , review how Zope does it

+ * FIXME '''Django version''': somehow the Django version used has to be conveyed (`django1.0-comments`?), again Zope app versioning should help
+
+ * '''publishing''': apps should be packaged with `setuptools` and published in the [http://pypi.python.org/pypi Python Package Index], under trove category `Framework :: Django`
+
+ * '''dependencies''': ordinary `setuptools` dependency handling
