The next new site I build will be Django Cairn: A (future) place to find #Django knowledge.
https://www.better-simple.com/django/cairn/2023/01/26/django-cairn/
Thanks to good ole 🐘-driven development. I had this idea shortly after DjangoCon. It's changed a fair amount, but I like the direction of it.
If anyone has wisdom or words of advice, please share!
@CodenameTim I tried something similar two years ago with Django Unstuck, a place to find common patterns, ideas to get you unstuck and community with similar thoughts. https://github.com/shezi/django-unstuck/
Sadly, it never took off.
So I'm all up for Django Cairn! Let's do it!
@CodenameTim I’d love to help get all this Django knowledge archived in archive.org. Maybe we can make that automatic? We’re big users of Django in our Archiving and Data Services department.
@avdempsey We're coming full-circle! The impetus for me to publish my endeavor was from @webology using archive.org to find old Django content.

@CodenameTim I’m imagining any link that gets added to Cairn could be given to archive.org to request crawling. And maybe there’s something in Cairn to check for broken links and swap-in the Wayback Machine URL.
@avdempsey That all seems reasonable to me. Let me add it to the repo so I don't lose this.
@shezi Exactly! There's a lot of ways to do things. When I first picked up Django, I certainly made a lot of choices. The only good one may have been that I picked Django.
