Please!!! Someone help!!! I know the basics but cannot find project ideas for GSoD 2020. Do we have to write our own idea for improving the documentation?

Hi Spring,

As you are interested in participating in Season of Docs as a technical writer, first familiarize yourself with the writer guide at https://goo.gl/dMVSQ8 and the tech responsibilities at https://goo.gl/BEqo2A.

Plz take a look: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSecVnkiamFJntE1iuguc-UXIQFCKOtKlq4S1o6I1QRjQKv4vQ/viewform

Nice.

Although it has been just a few months for me learning Django, and although a lot of people on #django and #python on IRC say that Django docs are easier but I really felt it difficult to understand the required stuff in the docs without having good knowledge of Django. For example I was interested in using class based views and didn’t know where you get started, the polls app provided almost no information and the best resource I could find after the very basic example was http://ccbv.co.uk/projects/Django/3.0/django.views.generic.edit/FormView/#get_context_data .

I really feel the docs aren’t easy for a beginner and even now when I know Django a bit. I also remember when I wanted to use Formset and I wasted time on understanding management form which was put like at the end of the docs page. Well, it would be good to add “accordian” element in the docs so that a user can choose a title of whatever they want and explore that topic, it w’d also make it easier for writers to extend a section.
