Be careful about what you choose to document. Django's magic-removal branch will be a significant change and there may be other backwards incompatible changes before Django 1.0 is born. The project you choose to document may be prone to deprecation between now and when Django reaches 1.0. On a more serious note, your documentation may be misleading if deprecated and still publicly available a few months from now. If not careful, your efforts may not be as helpful as you'd like. If none of the Django deities chime in on this, you might ask about it on the django-developers list. Kudos to you for offering to share your efforts. Eric.
