Description
I've counted 33 references to the old doc (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation), either in the code or in the refactored doc.
Those should be fixed before release.

Some references still exist to topics like abstract base classes, multi-table inheritance which have not been documented in the new docs.

hi thejaswi_puthraya, it appears that the patch that you submitted is... faulty. It is prefixed with a/ - so it cannot be applied cleanly.
Is this intentional, and are you intending to go through all of the documentation to clear out all the references to the old docs - as you have not done all yet?
Please advise - or join us on IRC - django-sprint...
thanks... patrickf

thejaswi_puthraya: it's worth checking http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/contributing/#patch-style.
The 'standard' patch style uses svn diff. Your patch was probably created using mercurial/git (thanks cramm for that tip).

Added a new patch (8701-v2.diff).
This is a longer version of 8701.diff:
- found more references to old documentation location.
- I've left alone old-doc references to subjects missing in the new docs (ex: model inheritance).
#8533 covers this subject, changing the links from old doc to new doc should probably be part of a patch for that ticket.
I'm adding a comment to #8533 to remember this task.
- I've left alone links to 0.96 documentation, as I assume that its location is not changing.
Please correct me if I am wrong!

Yes, Jacob just confirmed that: "... the old docs will stay where they are; 1.0+ will be in the new place."

I spotted a couple more outdated references to the old docs. See the attached patch.
I think those are the last ones, excluding the references to the previous releases (0.95/0.96) and the model examples. Concerning the latter, I'm wondering if that's actually intentional. I've just asked the question on the dev-list: http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/2b6377bfe5e25170#

In the future please open new tickets in situations like this - it's easy for us to follow what's going on when we don't recycle closed tickets. I'll clean this up today, though; thanks for the patch.
