How Django processes a request
Last week The B-List talked about extending the Django user model. This week James documents how Django processes a request:
Simon Willison once wrote such a document, but it was a fairly high-level view and a fair number of things have changed since then, so I’m going to take a stab at it myself, and hopefully the result will be comprehensible.
It’s really cool that James has taken the time to put this together, but I can’t help but think… isn’t this something that the Django team should already have documented on their website? Just a thought.

Yes, it is something we should already have written :)
Unfortunatly, limited time, and all that… I’m working with James to have this turned into an “official” document, though, so stay tuned!

Hi Jacob :)
That’s a really good idea to get James to contribute his work and get it included in the official docs. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, I’ve been treating my Django-related posts as drafts of things that might make cool additions to the official docs. It’s easier for me, writing them, to get comments, feedback, corrections, etc. on my blog and get them into good shape before contributing them to the main documentation.
