Very informative post. I am new to python/django and am planning to use some of these code-review points to better understand django as well as my project rather than 'review' it as such.

I'm not sure about using excel to track the project layout, though I'm not sure what tool would I use for such a task. My current method of rapidly using my IDE to traverse between files while building a mental model in my mind is effective but I can retain only about 50% of the information in a week or two.

What do others do?
