-Better error messages make everybody work faster. I'm starting this page as a place to collect error messages that could stand improvement, or which are misleading or confusing in certain contexts. Most of us have had the experience of getting a "weird" message, puzzling it out (perhaps with help from django-users or #django) and then moving on. Later it can be hard to remember what the problem was.

 This is an experiment to see if having a dedicated place to describe these cases as we encounter them can help organize a quality-control effort. Good error messages make for more productive developers. (And it helps newbies be more self-supporting, too.)
