It seems now that AuthDjango works again.

Berlin hackathon thoughts

• Which projects will be looking for new contributors?

• What is the required knowledge for new contributors?
  • For each such thing, where's the hackathon-official doc for that?
  • Who will be on the ground helping?

• Where is the list of entry-level tasks for those projects?

• Who will take the time to talk to people about their background and identify good first bugs?

• Ensuring that there are high-quality laptop setup instructions, preferably cross-platform, for the tech tools required for these projects, e.g. pywikipediabot

• Ensuring the schedule has time for laptop setup and that we find on-the-ground volunteers to help address development environment problems newcomers will face.
