This is the result of Christopher Medrela's 2013 Summer of Code project.
Thanks also to Preston Holmes, Tim Graham, Anssi Kääriäinen, Florian
Apolloner, and Alex Gaynor for review notes along the way.
Also: Fixes #8579, fixes #3055, fixes #19844.
Since it triggers imports, it shouldn't be done lightly.
This commit adds a public API for doing it explicitly, django.setup(),
and does it automatically when using manage.py and wsgi.py.
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.

Adjusted the default URLconf detection to account for the admin.
It's now enabled by default.

Added security warnings for the most sensitive settings.
commit 718d84bd8ac4a42fb4b28ec93965de32680f091e
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date: Mon Jan 28 23:24:06 2013 +0100
Used an absolute path for the SQLite database.
This ensures the settings file works regardless of which directory
django-admin.py / manage.py is invoked from.
BASE_DIR got a +1 from a BDFL and another core dev. It doesn't involve
the concept of a "Django project"; it's just a convenient way to express
relative paths within the source code repository for non-Python files.
Thanks Jacob Kaplan-Moss for the suggestion.
commit 1b559b4bcda622e10909b68fe5cab90db6727dd9
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date: Mon Jan 28 23:22:40 2013 +0100
Removed STATIC_ROOT from the default settings template.
It isn't necessary in development, and it confuses beginners to no end.
Thanks Carl Meyer for the suggestion.
commit a55f141a500bb7c9a1bc259bbe1954c13b199671
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date: Mon Jan 28 23:21:43 2013 +0100
Removed MEDIA_ROOT/URL from default settings template.
Many sites will never deal with user-uploaded files, and MEDIA_ROOT is
complicated to explain.
Thanks Carl Meyer for the suggestion.
commit 44bf2f2441420fd9429ee9fe1f7207f92dd87e70
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date: Mon Jan 28 22:22:09 2013 +0100
Removed logging config.
This configuration is applied regardless of the value of LOGGING;
duplicating it in LOGGING is confusing.

Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date: Mon Jan 28 22:05:31 2013 +0100
Enabled the locale middleware by default.
USE_I18N is True by default, and doesn't work well without
LocaleMiddleware.

Avoided misleading TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG.
According to the docs TEMPLATE_DEBUG works only when DEBUG = True.

Date: Mon Jan 28 16:46:25 2013 +0100
Removed STATICFILES_FINDERS/TEMPLATE_LOADERS from default settings file.
Only developers with special needs ever need to change these settings.

Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date: Mon Jan 28 16:45:01 2013 +0100
Removed STATICFILES/TEMPLATES_DIRS from default settings file.
The current best practice is to put static files and templates in
applications, for easier testing and deployment.

Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date: Mon Jan 28 16:24:16 2013 +0100
Removed settings related to email reporting from default settings file.
While handy for small scale projects, it isn't exactly a best practice.

Disabled the sites framework by default.
RequestSite does the job for single-domain websites.

commit 50417e51996146f891d08ca8b74dcc736a581932
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date: Mon Jan 28 15:51:50 2013 +0100
Normalized the default application template.
Removed the default test that 1 + 1 = 2, because it's been committed
way too many times, in too many projects.
Added an import of `render` for views, because the first view will
often be:
def home(request):
return render(request, "mysite/home.html")
