15379	FAQ should include standard way to cite django	csgreene	Susan Tan	"Many open source projects have a standard way to cite their use in publications.  R has, for example, the citation command:

""""""
{{{
> citation()
}}}
To cite R in publications use:

  R Development Core Team (2010). R: A language and environment for
  statistical computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing,
  Vienna, Austria. ISBN 3-900051-07-0, URL http://www.R-project.org.

A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is
{{{
  @Manual{,
    title = {R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing},
    author = {{R Development Core Team}},
    organization = {R Foundation for Statistical Computing},
    address = {Vienna, Austria},
    year = {2010},
    note = {{ISBN} 3-900051-07-0},
    url = {http://www.R-project.org},
  }
}}}
We have invested a lot of time and effort in creating R, please cite it
when using it for data analysis. See also ‘citation(""pkgname"")’ for
citing R packages.

It would be nice if Django had a similar command or (and this is the easiest solution) if the FAQ addressed this.  This would help academic users of django."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	1.2	Normal	fixed			Accepted	0	0	0	0	1	0
