Hmm - I've been on here for a while, and I've never heard of it. Glad to here it's somewhat known at least. Do you know endlessvoid94 or have any experience with Djangy?
I'm excited to see it, and that they're using Git and not Hg. I came into Py/Django from RubyTutorial's great use of Ruby/Rails/Git/Heroku and I was hoping Django would build a similarly good starter kit.
Not that DjangoBook is bad at all, but for noobs like myself I think the simplicity of having everything so integrated gets me past some of the intimidating things and feeling good about the tools without the high learning curve.
