Document cross-app dependencies

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Customizing/differentiating a site based on Pinax generally involves
disabling some apps. This often causes subtle breakages due to implicit
cross-app dependencies. We should have a document which lists all apps,
with a brief description, some basic tips for working with it, and a list
of dependencies. I volunteer to help with this.

perhaps the long-term solution is a django deployment solution based on eggs. 
There
is work on this I think.. buildout anyone?

this could replace the current svn external method for deployment yes? one could
specify a subset of the pinax apps, and dependencies would be pulled in 
automatically?

Buildout is most likely to become a optional way to get Pinax at some point.

Dependency documentation now exists and the basic_project allows for 
constructive
rather than destructive customization.

basic_project is just the thing, just updated a site using it as a template, 
trimmed a lot of apps. Thanks,
James!
