How do I cite Django?
---------------------
It's difficult to give an official citation format, for two reasons: citation
formats can vary wildly between publications, and citation standards for
software are still a matter of some debate.
For example, `APA style`_, would dictate something like::
Django (Version 1.5) [Computer Software]. (2013). Retrieved from http://djangoproject.com.
However, the only true guide is what your publisher will accept, so get a copy
of those guidelines and fill in the gaps as best you can.
If your referencing style guide requires a publisher name, use "Django Software
Foundation".
If you need a publishing location, use "Lawrence, Kansas".
If you need a web address, use http://djangoproject.com.
If you need a name, just use "Django", without any tagline.
If you need a publication date, use the year of release of the version you're
referencing (e.g., 2013 for v1.5)
