| Graceful error handling | Does the application give useful debug information to the stacktrace or a log file? |
| Quality documentation in sphinx format | |
| Test Project with example | A facebook auth app should have a test project (not an app - a working project) that can demonstrate that the app actually works via python manage.py test <this-app> |
