There's http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DevModelCreation. It needs to
be updated when model inheritance lands, because the data flow in
__new__ has changed slightly, but it's still predominantly accurate.
I've started writing a similar page (just locally so far) for the
QuerySet and Query classes. They're useful for people wanting to
customise. I'd prefer stuff like that to be in subversion rather than
the wiki because it's not really appropriate fodder for just anybody to
edit.

The trick here is walking the line between what we want to commit to and
what is in existence at the moment. In the past we've used the lack of
documentation as a clear sign that something isn't stable, which isn't a
bad approach, but does make it annoying when you actually want to work
on that stuff and don't know how it works.

Prior to you posting this thread, I'd been meaning to send a query about
maybe having a docs/dev/ directory which would have the status of "stuff
in here is accurate, but not frozen and not public API". But now it's
all your problem and you can work it out. I like that plan better.
Mwahahaha...

Malcolm
