Hi,
     I want to develop a django app where the users have to select some text in a given sentence; And I need to store the selected text and the time taken for selecting that text. I'm a newbie to django. Can you help me with how should i do this? Is there any relevant apps that I can make use of with little/minor changes. Thanks in advance:)

uhm... imho you must to do that with javascript maybe? and use django to render the sentences and then to store the thing (time, selected text, etc.) maybe with sqlquery for database (for simplicity).

Hope to help you in some way.

Vicherot,
              okay. I know how to create a basic django app like blog etc. If you guide me to some tutorials/blogs/apps that specifically or closely deals with what I need, It can be much helpful to me. Thanks:)

Really, imho your django skills to do that shoudn't be so high... just a model that suite your needs for render a html page with sentences where select text and save the selections and the time).
Create some view to render the template where you show sentences, and other to save selected text and time.
Then, in your template, using javascript, develop something to start counting time the way you want (here is when javascript skills is needed), and when finish invoque the save view.

That, i think, its the most easy aproach.
