Added a "suggested reading order" to the README (fixes #136 -- thanks paolo!). Also reworded some of the language in the README and added pointers to the various help resources.

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development
and clean, pragmatic design.
Thanks for downloading it.
All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/. If you're just getting started,
here's a good order to read the docs:
All documentation is in the "docs" directory. 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:
* First, read doc/install.txt for instructions on installing Django.
* Next, work through the tutorials in order (doc/tutorial01.txt,
doc/tutorial02.txt, etc.).
* If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read doc/modpython.txt
for instructions on running Django under mod_python.
* 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
