 I'd like to suggest a change on the documentation which might be a source
 of confusion for some persons, and lead them the wrong way.

 On the main installation guide
 (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/#topics-install) the
 suggested method of installation is mod_python. However, once we click the
 link on "See How to use Django with mod_python for information on how to
 configure mod_python once you have it installed.", we're taken to the
 mod_python howto
 (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/modpython/#howto-
 deployment-modpython) where we can see the following:

 "The mod_python module for Apache can be used to deploy Django to a
 production server, although it has been mostly superseded by the simpler
 mod_wsgi deployment option."

 And, on the mod_wsgi page
 (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/modwsgi/#howto-
 deployment-modwsgi):

 "Deploying Django with Apache and mod_wsgi is the recommended way to get
 Django into production."

 Why aren't people led to the mod_wsgi page on the first place when
 accessing the main installation guide ?

 Also, the main installation guide, takes people to a wiki page
 (http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/ServerArrangements), when there are
 similar guides on the main documentation (at least for mod_wsgi and
 mod_python, I haven't checked others).
