I was only half-jokingingly replying, to increase the jobs per canal
ratio, with no details about the job whatsoever. Yet I still got some
private replies with CV's and interest in the job, this surprised me :)

The job is not a joke though, and these replies show me that there are
some people on this list actively looking for a job. So here are the
full details:

As original author of the software, I can tell you that it's not a
particularly exciting/special django app, but it is a critical internal
app that's integrated with all our processes to automate server
managementand more. It is responsible for saving us a lot of time and
work on a day-to-day basis, so the work done on it has a direct result
in our efficiency. I thoroughly enjoyed working on it, but have moved on
to another role and cannot give it as much attention as it deserves.
