Malcolm Tredinnick d32c290846 Revised r9566 slightly to be backwards compatible with versions 1.0 - 1.0.2.
Also documented the change. We prefer to load directory_index.html for static
directory listings, but if you have the (older style) "directory_index"
template and no .html version, we'll load that. This should stop a bunch of
mysterious breakages when people upgrade to Django 1.0.3 or Django 1.1. Also
keeps the docs in sync with released code.

Fixed #9993.

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development
and clean, pragmatic design.

All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/. If you're just getting started, here's
how we recommend you read the docs:

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

    * Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/intro/tutorial01.txt,
      docs/intro/tutorial02.txt, etc.).

    * If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read
      docs/howto/deployment/modpython.txt for instructions on running Django
      under mod_python.

    * You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in docs/topics)
      next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in docs/howto) for specific
      problems, and check out the reference (docs/ref) for gory details.

Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they
should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket
here:
