------------------------------------------------+------------------------
docs/faq/*.txt haven't been reviewed in years. An update would be welcome.

A few random examples:

- jinja2 is a better example of an alternative language than ZPT
- it's probably worth saying something about NoSQL
- Instagram and Pinterest are better examples of scaling Django than World
Online (sorry)
- we no longer reject the idea of depending on external libraries
- etc.

We should remove the questions that don't appear to be common problems
these days, update answers when the consensus has shifted a bit over the
years, and add question commonly asked on #django or django-users. (Since
I'm not following these media, I don't know what questions get asked time
and again.)

Comment (by olasitarska):

I did three improvements suggested here by Aymeric.
https://github.com/django/django/pull/3044

I didn't touch question about depending on external libraries, because I
don't have the full knowledge about this.

I also think that [[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/faq/install
/#will-django-run-under-shared-hosting-like-textdrive-or-dreamhost|answer
about hosting]] that links to a very outdated wiki page should be either
removed or linked to much better mantained
[[http://djangofriendly.com/hosts/|Django Friendly]].
