Description
It has come to my attention while using the django documentation that several examples and directions specify the use of paths or os.path.join use the default BASE_DIR and a path written like "directory/subDirectory". I think this confuses a number of people who develop on windows platforms because it is actually more ideal to use os.path.join like this:
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "directory", "subDirectory")
If you change this within your documentation it might help users who are having problems configuring django with various paths in their applications while also understanding the functionality of os.path better.
