This last page has what I consider an error/bug but I'm not sure how
to judge that, nor what to report against.
At the top of the page, under the heading, it states:
"Changed in Django 1.2: Please, see the release notes"
because it's the docs for django1.3.
As a native English speaker, I consider the comma incorrectly used - I
felt *compelled* ("Please, see...") to visit the documentation from
1.2 rather than merely advised ("Please see...").
The page in question in svn is here
https://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/docs/ref/forms/validation.txt
which refers to the function versionchanged which happens to be search
for since it's on a lot of doc pages...
Anyway, FYI
cheers
