One of the first things I saw in the Readme was the instruction "Docs are
updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they
should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a
ticket here: https://code.djangoproject.com/newticket";. I clicked it just
to see what was on the page.
However, coming in as a new person, that page displays a giant "Error:
Forbidden" with two different warning banners on it, which would likely be
discouraging if I weren't already an experienced contributor to other
projects.
Adding that you can log in with GitHub (where you're being sent from) and
that you must log in somehow would alleviate the "oh no, the page is
yelling at me" feeling there. Feel free to assign to @MaggieFero (my
primary account) if you'd like me to add such a mention.
