Hi everyone, I'm excited to see this group come into existence!
As some of you know, I started work a few weeks ago on support for using SQLite as a back end for GeoDjango using the SpatiaLite extension. It mostly works, and you can play with the patch attached to ticket #9686 if you want (but read the notes first, and you'll need to install a few other patches and such first).
While I won't have time to work on it for a couple of weeks, I'd love to organize a distributed (IRC-based?) GeoDjango/SQLite code sprint for sometime in mid-late January to hack on it. It would involve reviewing the changes and tests, talking through a few design decisions that need to get revisited, trying it out with some of your own test cases, and writing up some documentation. Is anyone else interested? If anyone else is already in the SF Bay Area, we could even hack in person....

I plan on committing those patches to the gis-1.1 mercurial (within the coming days) so that all users will need is to install SpatiaLite.

#geodjango is open for all such discussion. Depending on when the sprint is scheduled I may be able participate in that timeframe.
