Description
In an episode of DjangoChat, there was a discussion that we need more testers of pre-released Django versions. I am in full agreement that early testers are wonderful and the more the merrier 😊
In order to encourage this, there was a proposal to have a how-to page, as there may be folks who want to do this but don't know how.
We can then link to this in our blog posts when pre-releaes are published.
This how-to probably should link to the how-to upgrade Django page, as being on the latest released version is a reasonable prerequisite.
I have also proposed us having a scheduled job to test against djangoproject.com (https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com/issues/2391) which we may be able to link to in order to give folks an example implementation of testing against Django's main branch.
