Funny how, even after a redesign, I can still recognize the layout of the docs after occasionally looking at them a few times a year :) https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/
Good job on the redesign. I think it looks great. How about getting rid of Trac now? There's really no worse issue tracker...
I think that there's too much historical data in Trac for them to ditch it. Migrating would be difficult.

Documentation websites actually have some pretty good use-cases to being scalable to mobile, either because people will view documentation on a tablet or phone while developing, or due to people using smaller browser widths when developing to be able to display their IDE or terminal windows next to the documentation windows.
Yeah, no. Smaller browser widths I agree But using a phone/tablet to navigate the docs? Might as well use notepad for coding too, since the objective is to suffer.
Plus, though it amy be an unintended consequence, mobile first shouldn't at all hurt the desktop experience, just make sure that mobile is not an afterthought once the design patterns are engrained and it's too late to modify a responsive experience.

Both. It is possible, and not too difficult in fact, to write a single codebase that runs under both Python 2 and Python 3. Which is what Django has done. The same code runs the same under 2.7 or 3.3 or 3.4.
Thanks for the reply. Are there any guidelines or "best practices" for writing code for both 2.7 and 3.4?
Looking great. Thanks for great Christmas gift :D On the other hand, I feel like I am going to miss old design - is there archive somewhere?
# apt-get install python-django-doc $ x-www-browser /usr/share/doc/python-django-doc/html/index.html :)
Overall I like it, but it could really do with a max-width set for the content. I use my browser full screen on a 24" monitor and some of the line lengths are far in excess of readable.
The max-width has been deployed, thanks for the feedback.

I think it has too much empty space ...
Yes, even I thought the same. I hate that the home page has a lot of content that I have to scroll down to view (at 1440x900 resolution). http://ibin.co/1kret3oW7caZ illustrates whitespace wastage in the blog Edit: Added an illustration
there is no such thing. Think more whitespace equals more focus around the content and less clutter.
I liked the old site better. This is clearly a case of, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." The purpose of documentation is utility, not to look modern. It does nothing that I can see to improve the utility. In fact, all of the white space makes it harder to use. It would be nice if there were an older "theme" users could continue using.
