2026-02-10Clarified optional nature of Contributor License Agreement.Jacob Walls
It's not clear that CLAs are needed to ensure contributors are assenting to our license (the "inbound=outbound" agreement), but we can keep them around for contributors who would like to (or are required by their employer) to submit one, without investing additional resources in checking every single contribution. See https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/cla-vs-dco-for-django-contributors/42399 and recent board minutes.

2019-10-15Moved "Sign the CLA" to the bottom of New Contributor First Steps.Carlton Gibson

2019-09-06Fixed #30573 -- Rephrased documentation to avoid words that minimise the ↵Tobias Kunze
involved difficulty. This patch does not remove all occurrences of the words in question. Rather, I went through all of the occurrences of the words listed below, and judged if they a) suggested the reader had some kind of knowledge/experience, and b) if they added anything of value (including tone of voice, etc). I left most of the words alone. I looked at the following words: - simply/simple - easy/easier/easiest - obvious - just - merely - straightforward - ridiculous Thanks to Carlton Gibson for guidance on how to approach this issue, and to Tim Bell for providing the idea. But the enormous lion's share of thanks go to Adam Johnson for his patient and helpful review.
2016-12-21Removed the importance of "core developers" in triaging tickets, etc.Tim Graham

2015-02-05Added cross references to contributing docs.Riccardo Magliocchetti
2014-08-01Adjusted 'internals' docs to the new organization.Aymeric Augustin
Most of these changes are about using the correct vocabulary -- "core team member" vs "core developer/committer" and adding internal links.
2013-10-04Fixed #21213 -- Added docs for Django's mailing lists.Unai Zalakain
Added docs/internals/mailing-lists.txt documenting the use of django's mailing lists. All references across docs changed to point to this page. The referencing makes use of substitution because there's no way to make a :ref: link in a non-inline fashion in Sphinx. It also makes use of rst_epilog Sphinx conf for making this substitutions across all the docs.
2013-09-05Fixed #21047 -- Added CLA mesage on the new contributor advice docmicahhausler
2013-04-08Removed references to the DDN triage state.Aymeric Augustin
Rephrased "How can I help with triaging?" a bit to reflect the current practice.
