Is this project alive? Problems with elderly installation instructions. #456

I've tried to follow the INSTALL instructions to the best of my ability, but there's been significant ... motion in the available packages. I got stalled on the step:

(8)(c) "sudo ./setup.py ../../docs/config.xsd ../../docs/config.xml"

The main sticking point that there's no 'setup.py' (in branch v2.0). A 'find . -name "setup.py"' finds a couple of such scripts buried down in django, but calling the top-most script results in an ImportError for the module djcelery. Back-patching the dependency for djcelery allows the application to die a bit later — complaint about lack of setup.
