You won't get any argument from me that there is room for a tutorial about deployment. There's room for many more tutorials, on many different topics. You will, however, get a lot of argument that Tutorial *1* is the right place for that tutorial. At the end of Tutorial 1, we've got the demonstration web server running, and we've explored some models. We don't even have a useful view to look at yet. That isn't the time to start talking about the configuration of a deployment web server. If there's going to be a tutorial on deployment, it's a separate tutorial in itself, that is placed *after* you've developed the web site - that is, *after* tutorial 4 (or potentially 5,6), when the site is built, is working happily on the development server, and needs to be shown to the outside world. You also need to keep in mind that "deployment" isn't a simple topic. What operating system are we deploying against? What web server? Do we address basic sysadmin issues, or do we assume that you're a competent sysadmin, and just point you at a mod_wsgi configuration and assume you know how to install it? I'm not saying that we shouldn't include tutorial materials on Django deployment -- just that you need to be very careful how you pitch that tutorial. Most of all -- show us the draft. If you think there is something needed in Django's documentation, write it! If you don't know, do some research and document your learning process. We can always correct mistakes and provide suggestions, but we need a first draft to comment on.
