In an episode of DjangoChat, there was a discussion that we need more
testers of pre-released Django versions. I am in full agreement that early
testers are wonderful and the more the merrier 😊

In order to encourage this, there was a proposal to have a how-to page, as
there may be folks who want to do this but don't know how.

We can then link to this in our blog posts when pre-releaes are published.

This how-to probably should link to the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/6.0/howto/upgrade-version/ how-to
upgrade Django page], as being on the latest released version is a
reasonable prerequisite.

I have also proposed us having a scheduled job to test against
djangoproject.com
(https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com/issues/2391) which we may be
able to link to in order to give folks an example implementation of
testing against Django's main branch.
