Re: #16779 - a tutorial for first time Django contributors
Thanks to those who have weighed in on this thus far. I've rewritten part of the tutorial to use a more recent ticket from the "git era" to hopefully make things less confusing. I think the part that has the most potential to confuse new contributors is the introduction of PYTHONPATH. Claude suggested we could simply instruct users to run the tests like so: PYTHONPATH=/path/to/django ./run_tests.py --settings=test_sqlite I'm not particularly in love with that, but it would eliminate the need to try to explain things and perhaps we could link out to an external resource that explains PYTHONPATH well, although I haven't found anything after a quick search. Any specific feedback on this paragraph, or the tutorial as whole, would be appreciated: http://techytim.com/django/16779/intro/contributing.html#setting-django-up-to-run-the-test-suite On Friday, November 2, 2012 8:03:34 PM UTC-4, Tim Graham wrote: > > Taavi Taijala has written a tutorial for new contributors that I've given > an initial review.

proposal: post-collectstatic signal
Currently, our only built-in management signal is post-syncdb. I propose (and, notwithstanding objection, will build) post-collectstatic. Is this reasonable? Is there another, less invasive way to hook logic into collectstatic? -- Justin Holmes Chief Chocobo Breeder, slashRoot slashRoot: Coffee House and Tech Dojo New Paltz, NY 12561 845.633.8330 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.

What's the use case?
