    228228features that we feel are necessary to earn a "1.0" status, and are ready to 
    229 begin maintaining backwards compatibility.

    655655If this FAQ doesn't contain an answer to your question, you might want to 
    656 try the `django-users mailing list`_. Feel free to ask any question related  
    657 to installing, using, or debugging Django.  
    658  
    659 If you prefer IRC, the `#django IRC channel`_ on freenode is an active 
    660 community of helpful individuals who may be able to solve your problem.

    668668django-users_ has a lot of subscribers. This is good for the community, as 
    669 there are lot of people that can contribute answers to questions. 
     669it means many people are available to contribute answers to questions. 
    670670Unfortunately, it also means that django-users_ is an attractive target for 
    671 spammers.  
     671spammers. 
    672672 
    673673In order to combat the spam problem, when you join the django-users_ mailing 
    674 list, we manually moderate the first message you send to the list. This means  
    675 that spammers get caught, but it also means that your first question to the  
     674list, we manually moderate the first message you send to the list. This means 
     675that spammers get caught, but it also means that your first question to the 
    676676list might take a little longer to get answered. We apologize for any 
    677677inconvenience that this policy may cause.

    684 Wait. Ask again later. Try making your question more specific, or provide 
    685 a better example of your problem. 
    686  
    687 Remember, the readers of django-users_ are all volunteers. If nobody has 
    688 answered your question, it may be because nobody knows the answer, it may 
    689 be because nobody can understand the question, or it may be that everybody 
    690 that can help is extremely busy. 
    691  
    692 Resist any temptation to mail the `django-developers mailing list`_ in an  
    693 attempt to get an answer to your question. django-developers_ is for discussing  
    694 the development of Django itself. Attempts to use django-developers_ as 
    695 a second-tier support mechanism will not be met an enthusiastic response.

     685problem. 
     686 
     687As with most open-source mailing lists, the folks on django-users_ are 
     688volunteers. If nobody has answered your question, it may be because nobody 
     689knows the answer, it may be because nobody can understand the question, or it 
     690may be that everybody that can help is busy. One thing you might try is to ask 
     691the question on IRC -- visit the `#django IRC channel`_ on the Freenode IRC 
     692network. 
     693 
     694You might notice we have a second mailing list, called django-developers_ -- 
     695but please don't e-mail support questions to this mailing list. This list is 
     696for discussion of the development of Django itself. Asking a tech support 
     697question there is considered quite impolite.
