django/docs/ref/contrib/index.txt
Unai Zalakain 3895d8899d Fixed #21213 -- Added docs for Django's mailing lists.
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.

====================
``contrib`` packages
====================
Django aims to follow Python's `"batteries included" philosophy`_. It ships
with a variety of extra, optional tools that solve common Web-development
problems.
This code lives in ``django/contrib`` in the Django distribution. This document
gives a rundown of the packages in ``contrib``, along with any dependencies
those packages have.
.. admonition:: Note
For most of these add-ons -- specifically, the add-ons that include either
models or template tags -- you'll need to add the package name (e.g.,
``'django.contrib.admin'``) to your :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` setting and
re-run ``manage.py migrate``.
