+Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development
+and clean, pragmatic design. Thanks for checking it out.
+
+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/index.txt for instructions.
+
+    * 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.
+
+    * See docs/README for instructions on building an HTML version of the docs.
+
+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:
+
+http://code.djangoproject.com/newticket
