None of this is set in stone, but unless there's good reason not to:

• Use Heroku for hosting if at all possible (skiff uses it already, simple for billing)
• Heroku Quickstart: http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/quickstart

Authentication and login

• Use BrowserID for user logins
• Libraries (not hard to implement manually though) https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/wiki/BrowserID-Libraries
• https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/wiki/How-to-Use-BrowserID-on-Your-Site

Creating a new Github repo

• Ask Tom (or anyone else who already has access) to be added as an admin to the SkiffHack organisation on Github
• Goto https://github.com/organizations/skiffhack/repositories/new

Or you could always create it on your own github and SkiffHack will fork it.

Using Django

(all languages/frameworks/etc welcome)

Here are Heroku's Django instructions: http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django

Or you can start from the template I made earlier here:

https://github.com/skiffhack/SkiffHack-Django-Example

To use:

• Clone from Github
• Set the remote to a new github repo (see above)
• run "heroku create --stack cedar" from the repo directory (You need the Heroku Toolbelt installed, it comes as an OSX Package or a windows EXE or a tarball)
• set the SECRET_KEY with "heroku config:add SECRET_KEY=secret" (you need to select a random secret otherwise there will be security problems, try piping a bit of /dev/random into md5sum)
• Run "git push heroku master"
