Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid
development and clean, pragmatic design.
All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/. If you're just getting started,
here's how we recommend you read the docs:
* First, read docs/install.txt for instructions on installing Django.
About this version
==================
* Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/tutorial01.txt,
docs/tutorial02.txt, etc.).
This is the Django 0.90 "bugfixes" branch, which is intended to
provide bugfix and patch support for users of Django 0.90 who have not
been able to migrate to a more recent version. No new features will be
added in this branch, and it is maintained solely as a means of
providing support to legacy Django installations.
* If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read docs/modpython.txt
for instructions on running Django under mod_python.
If you're completely new to Django we highly recommend that you use
either the latest stable release or a Subversion checkout from
Django's trunk; Django is always evolving, and the latest and greatest
features are only available to users of newer versions of the
framework.
* The rest of the documentation is of the reference-manual variety.
Read it -- and the FAQ -- as you run into problems.
Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they
should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket
here:

To get more help:
We also recommend that users of this branch subscribe to the
"django-announce" mailing list, a low-traffic, announcements-only list
which will send messages whenever an important (i.e.,
security-related) bug is fixed. You can subscribe to the list via
Google Groups at http://groups.google.com/group/django-announce.
* Join the #django channel on irc.freenode.net. Lots of helpful people
hang out there. Read the archives at http://loglibrary.com/179 .
The documentation for this version of Django has been frozen, and is
available online at http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0_90/.
* Join the django-users mailing list, or read the archives, at
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/django-users.

If you're running into a bug which has been reported but not fixed,
