SSE Australia was launched in early 2009 and now operates in Sydney and Melbourne, using the same 'learning by doing' approach that the other schools in the network use.
TL;DR: I tried out four different Django social authentication and registration packages. The only one that worked out of the box was django-allauth , though django-social-auth looks like it could be promising. django-allauth is the only one that supports username/password registration as well as social registration. One of those silly little things that almost any modern web application needs is authentication.
