Description (last modified by )
Following the forum thread (Proposal: retiring django-users and django-developers mailing lists), we can now move ahead with updating the developer documentation to remove or contextualize references to the django-developers and django-users mailing list.
There is a lot of content that needs removing, but in some cases it might make sense to replace the references to those mailing lists with a link to the Django Forum, or specific forum categories. Also worth noting the django-announce and django-updates mailing list are staying as-is.
Removal tasks
- [ ] remove 2x mailing lists from the How to release Django docs
- [ ] Remove django-users from the FAQ - How do I do X
- [ ] Remove Why hasn't my message appeared on *django-users*? from the FAQ: Getting help
- [ ] Remove You might notice we have a second mailing list paragraph from the FAQ: Getting help
- [ ] Remove the 4x subscription and posting email addresses from Mailing lists and Forum
- [ ] Remove the django-users mention on the Contributing to Django index.
- [ ] Remove 4x mentions of django-developers from the Organization of the Django Project docs
- [ ] Remove 3x django-developers mentions on Comitting code
- [ ] Remove 6x django-developers mentions on Triaging tickets
- [ ] Remove 4x django-developers mentions on Submitting contributions
- [ ] Remove 1x django-developers mention from Writing your first contribution for Django
Rewrite tasks
- [ ] Rewrite the Mailing lists and Forum explanations for django-users and django-developers to explain the mailing lists still exist and contain valuable history
- [ ] Replace the 4x django-users and django-developers mentions on Reporting bugs and requesting features to instead point to the forum
- [ ] Replace the django-users and IRC links on the What to read next with a link to the Django Community page
- [ ] Replace the django-users mention on contrib apps index with a link to the Django forum
Do nothing
- Keep the
rst_epilog
references in the Sphinx config for now
- Keep any references to the mailing lists in historical docs (for example old release notes)
