Do any of you, by which I mean “anyone reading this,” know Django?

This is not a trick question, by which I mean “this is a trick question.”

I don't know it at all, I'm afraid. I heard the people running the FA art site wanted to rebuild the site's code from the ground up in a collaborative effort using Django, but that the group's members aren't getting along any more, or so the rumour mill has it.

No, they wanted to roll out a custom thing based on something other entirely, though still Python. The project was never really active, though. Communications were either on IRC or by leaving notes on a Wiki, which I think didn't foster the sort of responsive development environment that makes a project work out, IMHO.

I stand corrected and glad of it! :)

FA's "Ferrox" project is using a similar system called Pylons, to fill in what Balinares said. The Ferrox project is still underway, although I think a year or two ago most of the team quit to go do something else and a new team started led by Eevee. According to their Twitter tracking stream, though, Eevee just resigned as of 3/17. So. Hmm.
