Hi All,

I have been trying to work on revamping the documentation site we have at 
https://docs.mailman3.org. It is on https:// but I am not sure why the 
http->https redirect doesn't work in Readthedocs. I have set it to "serve 
always from https".

Anyway, it might not look too different right now, but there are some small 
re-organizations. I have been learning some new ReST and Sphinx tricks and been 
trying to cross-reference and link various sections and settings. The docs site 
shows up Mailman's logo now (I didn't even know we could do that ;-).

There is a place[1] for all supported Django settings that Postorius and 
Hyperkitty have. I am also planning to add some common Django settings that 
often people have to lookup and is not fun for people from non-python 
backgrounds. Hopefully, it will make lives easier for administrators.

I have reverted my own stupid decision to use "sudo pip3 install" in the docs 
to instead use virtualenv. The installation docs are going to grow to be more 
comprehensive.

I am also working on mailman-web project[3], which should simply installation 
process for all the web components using a single project and provide better 
guidance on Django's settings file management and howto run manage.py commands. 

I have added a `mailman-web` command, which, for those of you familiar with 
internal details of Django, is going to be our custom manage.py script. It sets 
up settings correctly and would hopefully reduce the pain of using 
`django-admin` and/or finding out the right path for `manage.py` script. It is 
still not ready for prime time, but it is usable. Early adopters can play with 
it if they like!


I would really appreciate if people who have tried to manually install Mailman 
3 in the past would share their experiences about what they think could be 
documented better. You can reply here or open an issue[2].

The user documentation are going to follow, hopefully soon :)
