Got autocomplete working for the member search. Updated django and ran into a bug where url tags with comma separated kwargs starting consuming tons of CPU throughput. The work-around is to cut over to using spaces between arguments. This is now allowed to be consistent with other tags. Did some query optimization for the news app.

"""urls for the contact application"""
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

urlpatterns = patterns('contact.views',
   url(r'^$', 'contact_form', name='contact-form'),
   (r'^thanks/$', 'contact_thanks'),
)
