Does the kind of deployment standards, documentation and support that you describe already exist for other web frameworks (Rails for instance)? I've only used a few frameworks and only Django in production. Just curious if we are behind the curve in the Django world or just have a chance to set the bar beyond what any other community has. As a web developer with novice dev-ops chops I'm 100% support of this idea.

You have some really great suggestions here. You've got my support.
