However, there is also scope for a focussed tutorial about class-based views in general. IMHO one of the biggest uptake problems around class-based views, and class-based generic views, is that there is a big initial learning curve, and the reference docs are intimidating. There is certainly room for improvement here -- either as a much improved topic guide, or as a new tutorial. More docs and better docs is always a good thing, and if someone wants to volunteer to write them, they get my enthusiastic support.
