I can't see any good reason to keep symlink method, but maybe I am missing
something.
I'd prefer to see the use of virtualenv built-in to the process from the very
start, and a quickstart version of the instructions as the first thing that
people see:
virtualenv django-virtualenv
source django-virtualenv/bin/activate
pip install django
I know that's not so simple, and that Windows users need to do something a bit
different, but at least seeing something that simple near the top of the
document would be a promise that installation *can* be that easy.
