     2 and clean, pragmatic design.

     4 All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at

     5 http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/.  If you're just getting started,

     6 here's how we recommend you read the docs:

     7 

     8     * First, read docs/install.txt for instructions on installing Django.

     9 

    10     * Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/tutorial01.txt,

    11       docs/tutorial02.txt, etc.).

    12 

    13     * If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read docs/modpython.txt

    14       for instructions on running Django under mod_python.

    15 

    16     * The rest of the documentation is of the reference-manual variety.

    17       Read it -- and the FAQ -- as you run into problems.

    18 

    19 Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they

    20 should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket
