Tim -- Thank you so much for the link to that blog post. I am going away now to think about that data a little, but I'll be back.
I was not aware of the "topics", "reference", and "how-to" assortment. But I have scanned the Table of Contents, and I find almost nothing here addressing documentation <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/internals/>. I am afraid I have caused enough trouble for now. I need a little time to digest that survey data, but I will be back. When I look at Django docs, I want to be informed as a Python programmer, perhaps even a novice one. As far as I can tell, there is no such thing in Django as Forms -- forms or form either for this matter. There is a Form class, and it can instantiate any number of objects. But THIS KIND OF THING (caps for emphasis on this example) is the kernel of my frustration. Again, many thanks Tim, your last post is very helpful to me.
