Writing your first GingerDJ app, part 8

This tutorial begins where Tutorial 7 left off. We’ve built our web-poll application and will now look at third-party packages. One of GingerDJ’s strengths is the rich ecosystem of third-party packages. They’re community developed packages that can be used to quickly improve the feature set of an application.

Third-party packages that integrate with GingerDJ need some post-installation setup to integrate them with your project. Often you will need to add the package’s GingerDJ app to your INSTALLED_APPS setting. Some packages need other changes, like additions to your URLconf (urls.py).
