I am tying to write a digg , hackernews , http://collectivesys.com/ like application where users submit something and other users can vote up or down , mark items as favorite ect . I was just wondering if there are some open source implementations django/python that i could use as starting point , instead of reinventing the wheel by starting from scratch.
I'd recommend taking a close look at the django-voting project on Google Code.
They claim to be an django implementation of "Reddit Style Voting"
