After due consideration, I think updating djangobook.com should not be a GSOC project. Why not? First, the book is owned by the authors and Apress, not the Django project. The Django community has no control. This probably runs afoul of some sort of GSOC rule. Second, it's representative of

As someone who has worked on Django's docs a lot, I've considered pitching in to help update the Django Book. However, I'm not sure it's really the best use of time as there's a lot of overlap between Django's docs and the book. Unless someone wants to argue otherwise, I suggest we adapt any

Would increasing the scope of the django tutorial itself and deprecating the djangobook solve the issue of new users learning django? - The tutorial does a really great job of introducing the basics. - Online resources for learning django have improved, significantly, since 0.96. Although it

To me the Djangobook is basically (sadly) a dead resource, developing sample projects against the content/topics of Djangobook is not really a GSOC project imo. On Saturday, February 22, 2014 1:36:30 PM UTC+1, Devashish Badlani wrote: > > I have been an Ex technical editor at Brogels,I have
