Description
The porting guide needs to basically cover everything in
BackwardsIncompatibleChanges, with before/after code samples for each
item and detailed upgrade info. The idea should be that someone can
start with an 0.96 site and read through the checklist in order,
making changes, and finish with a 1.0 site.

porting.txt is the first draft. It needs more work. I'm uploading it as I hope someone in the Sprint will take it, review it and improve it.

Awesome work guys.
Do you think there is something else that need to be added to this new document or is could be considered complete?
I'm attaching a patch version of the file with the following changes:
- Corrected some phrases
 - Added under 
docs/releases(this directory was suggested by Jacob). 
The following two are subject to change:
- Renamed as 
porting-guide.txt - Added a reference to 
docs/releases/index.txt, currently the link is located at the bottom of the file. 
NOTE:
- It would be good if text wrapping is set at 80 characters when possible, as the rest of the reST Django documentation.
 - Also, more crossreferencing (classes, settings, tags, would be of grat help to the readers.

Though I'm still working on this, the draft is done (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.0-porting-guide/) and I'm cleaning it up. File additional docs tickets with any changes that need making.
It's a start...
