This weekend I spent several hours getting Channels configured to run a simple chat server. This was an experiment I wanted to do before trying to integrate Channels into a much larger project.

It would have taken me a lot less time if there had been a tutorial in the official Channels docs similar in style to the Django tutorial that showed how to configure Channels and use it to work with WebSockets while also touching on the important Channels concepts and linking to reference documentation where appropriate. So I'd like to offer to write such a tutorial.

Would this be a welcome contribution?

Any improvements to documentation are greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the initiative.

I would very much welcome a narrative tutorial like the Django docs - I did not have the time to personally write and QA one before the 2.0 release, unfortunately. I'm happy to help out if you want to email me personally to discuss!

Thank you, I would also really appreciate it. If you could also include a section on deploying a channels project (e.g. to Heroku ) and how to do background tasks (e.g. similar to celery) I would appreciate that as well.
