All the documentation that exists is either in the Django source tree under /docs (which is what is displayed at djangoproject.com/documentation), or in the Wiki. There isn't really anything specifically directed at developers, other than the 'how to contribute' page. > Thinks that I want to learn are: > * how to create my own field (based on other django fields, or in sql > fields not still used; probably the latter is too much complicated, > according to django multidb feature). This has been recently discussed - both that the procedure should be documented, and that in documenting the procedure, the need for some cleanup of the underlying code may be revealed. Any suggestions are welcome. > * how to define it's html code in admin. Any changes/suggestions here should be made against the newforms-admin branch. The admin application is currently being rewritten to take advantage of the newforms library, which governs how fields are rendered as HTML. > * how to create my own tag template. This is partially covered in docs/templates_python, but any suggestions on how to improve this would be welcome. > I think that this documentation will be good for unifiing development > styles. I'll work on it while learning, if nothing still exists. Getting the first draft of any document is always a difficult step, so any contributions to documentation are always welcome. Documentation that stems from newcomer experience (i.e., here's what I didn't know when I started) is also valuable - the core developers play with this code regularly, and familiarity can lead to use forgetting what may (or may not) be obvious. Adrian casts his editorial pencil over any submissions to documentation (even submissions from the other core developers). However, this is one of the reasons that Django's documentation is as good as it is. Don't be discouraged if Adrian tears your first draft to shreds - it happens to all of us :-) Yours, Russ Magee %-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
