> I think having a note in the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/windows/ how to install for
Windows] section might be more appropriate.
I was unaware of this page, and I think that's a problem. The
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/ how to page] seems like a
catch all for guides, but I doubt most people using windows that follow
the tutorial will find it.
To find it, if you start at the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/install/ install page] of the
tutorial, you have to first click in
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/ complete
installation guide] and then on
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/windows/ How to install
Django on Windows].
The quick install guide, which says "this guide will guide you to a
minimal installation that’ll work while you walk through the
introduction.", has no direct mention of Windows, of the binary
differences.
So while the note in the Windows page would be needed, I think the the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/install/ install] page should
either link very clearly to the windows instructions or have the same or a
similar note to the one that needs to be added in the Windows page. I'm
not sure which of these two options would be better.
