How can you help? By doing it. Build it, and they will come. :-) Seriously - you don't have to ask for permission to help out. If you think there is an area where Django needs more/better/different documentation or examples, then dig in and get your hands dirty. There are many ways that you could make this happen: 1) The obvious solution would be to write a new tutorial or example page that could be distributed as part of the core documentation. Write up the docs in ReST format, and submit them as a ticket. It might take a while to get through the editorial process, but then your tutorial would be part of the Django core for ever more. 2) Blog about it. Write an N part series on setting up comments on a site. There are certain blogs (such as James Bennett's B-list) that are well known and oft-referenced sources of unofficial documentation of common tasks. 3) Screencast about it. Screencasts can be a more engaging way to demonstrate something by doing it, live on camera. 4) Set up a demo site, and provide the code for that site. I notice that how-to-use-django-comments.com is available... :-) Good ideas are easy to have - I usually have three or four each time I have a shower. Executing is much harder. Any contribution is welcome, but if you want to see improvement, you have to contribute. I look forward to seeing your contribution :-) Yours Russ Magee %-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
