Are there any best practices you use or thoughts around how to help a django web app do the least environmental harm as possible?

Django dumpdata only YOUR data

Avoid Django dumpdata and loaddata conflicts by excluding framework-generated permissions, content types, sessions, and admin log entries.

What are your do's and don'ts when starting a new Django project? Without going into specifics of the project, can you share apps you'd use and general best practices like "create your own user model" etc? I understand that your business is based around offering this advice for money, but maybe there are already great blog posts or cookiecutter templates you could point to?

I’ve always been curious, how do you and your team at REVSYS prioritize what to work on? Obviously client work pays the bills, but your team has been heavily involved in the Python and Django community for years, either serving on boards/working groups/committees/etc or helping maintain a myriad of open source libraries and helpful community sites. I figure each person has a certain level of autonomy to prioritize, but do ya'll have something like "10% time" rule or is it more fluid and circumstanstial?
