I am not a doc wizard, but IMHO it is *always* worth addressing doc issues re set up that are ambiguous and make one wonder how to get started. I think most open source projects vastly undersestimate how important ease of entry is to their growth. This encompasses both how easy it is to get started and how easy it is to find or make hosting Django friendly. Witness PHP, much worse langauge ( I use it when it pay$), incredibly easy to get started in, best documentation I've seen anywhere, and no problem setting up. Result: staggeringly large user base. For Django to grow, I think the most important hole in the docs right now ( now that those tuturials are done, which are very good! ) is a cohesive set of guidelines on getting it working on various server platforms. Indeed we have them, but they are mixed in with a mess of (often misleading) comments and confusion. my two cents!
