Suggestions from the 11 hackers at the table:

* Use connection pooling (pgpool).
* Don't expect reporters to get excited until you can show them something. (Find a way to appeal to reporters interests.)
* Only update what's changed. (e.g. on election results: show changes, not raw numbers)
* Use the AP's "dbready" format for election results.
* Use CSV for everything.
* Use pdb with runserver for debugging.
* Beware circular imports when using Haystack.
* Make the case for building news apps with government data. (Niran will provide numbers showing that people look at it.)
