In the documentation, I notice that for the base views and the generic 
display views, there exists a descriptive "method flowchart" that I can use 
to figure out which method I need to use to perform a task. However, for 
the generic editing views this seems to be missing. I end up looking 
through the source to find clues (which can be daunting considering how 
many other objects the display view inherits from). I just had to do this 
because I tried to overload save() in a view that inherited from the 
generic UpdateView and it didn't do anything. I ended up overloading 
form_valid() to do what I needed to do.

Is there a place where I can see the method flowchart for the generic 
editing views? As an aside: can users like me suggest changes to the docs? 
Should I open a ticket if I have a suggested change to the docs?
