#33650 new Cleanup/optimization

Description (last modified by Tim Graham)

I propose that we change the startproject template to put configuration files such as settings.py, wsgi.py, and the root urls.py in my_project/config instead of my_project/my_project.

Over the years, I've taught or tutored over 100 Djangonauts starting their first project. Having to explain and distinguish between two directories with the same name is a constant pain point in the teaching process - "cd into my_project ... no, the other one!"

It would be better to first propose these ideas on the mailing list to build consensus. And since the two ideas are independent, it would be better to have two separate tickets. #27909 is already at "someday/maybe" status regarding the custom user model, pending a discussion. I'll repurpose this one to focus on changing the settings directory name. I'm not sure if that's been proposed, but I found a recent discussion on the forum. I see you've already offered a patch.
