This patch does not remove all occurrences of the words in question. Rather, I went through all of the occurrences of the words listed below, and judged if they a) suggested the reader had some kind of knowledge/experience, and b) if they added anything of value (including tone of voice, etc). I left most of the words alone. I looked at the following words: - simply/simple - easy/easier/easiest - obvious - just - merely - straightforward - ridiculous Thanks to Carlton Gibson for guidance on how to approach this issue, and to Tim Bell for providing the idea. But the enormous lion's share of thanks go to Adam Johnson for his patient and helpful review.

Contributing to Django
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Django is a community that lives on its volunteers. As it keeps growing, we
|
|
always need more people to help others. As soon as you learn Django, you can
|
|
contribute in many ways:
|
|
|
|
* Join the |django-users| mailing list and answer questions. This
|
|
mailing list has a huge audience, and we really want to maintain a
|
|
friendly and helpful atmosphere. If you're new to the Django community,
|
|
you should read the `posting guidelines`_.
|
|
|
|
* Join the `#django IRC channel`_ on Freenode and answer questions. By
|
|
explaining Django to other users, you're going to learn a lot about the
|
|
framework yourself.
|
|
|
|
* Blog about Django. We syndicate all the Django blogs we know about on
|
|
the `community page`_; if you'd like to see your blog on that page you
|
|
can `register it here`_.
|
|
|
|
* Contribute to open-source Django projects, write some documentation, or
|
|
release your own code as an open-source pluggable application. The
|
|
ecosystem of pluggable applications is a big strength of Django, help us
|
|
build it!
|
|
|
|
If you think working *with* Django is fun, wait until you start working *on*
|
|
it. We're passionate about helping Django users make the jump to contributing
|
|
members of the community, so there are several ways you can help Django's
|
|
development:
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Report bugs <bugs-and-features>` in our `ticket tracker`_.
|
|
|
|
* Join the |django-developers| mailing list and share your ideas for how
|
|
to improve Django. We're always open to suggestions. You can also interact
|
|
on the `#django-dev IRC channel`_.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Submit patches <writing-code/submitting-patches>` for new and/or
|
|
fixed behavior. If you're looking for a way to get started contributing
|
|
to Django read the :doc:`/intro/contributing` tutorial and have a look at the
|
|
`easy pickings`_ tickets. The :ref:`patch-review-checklist` will also be
|
|
helpful.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Improve the documentation <writing-documentation>` or
|
|
:doc:`write unit tests <writing-code/unit-tests>`.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Triage tickets and review patches <triaging-tickets>` created by
|
|
other users.
