Description Michael Volz 2010-09-16 18:13:20 UTC 
For clearer understanding it would be helpful to state at the beginning of settings.py that users should place their settings in local_settings.py instead. One could also make INSTALL clearer on that: "Edit your local_settings.py, but leave settings.py"
Comment 1 Ray Wang 2010-09-17 16:59:51 UTC 
Hi Michael, 

From the INSTALL file, there is already a line said, 
"""
2. Set up your local settings file (in your snowy git checkout):
        cp local_settings.py.in local_settings.py
"""

I guess it will probably guide users to use local_settings.py instead of settings.py. Do you mean by just updating comments ahead of INSTALL file or something? :)
Comment 2 Sandy Armstrong 2010-09-17 17:27:15 UTC 
Yeah, we discussed this in IRC a bit.  We should be more clear about not editing settings.py in INSTALL, and we should add some comments to settings.py indicating that local_settings.py should be edited instead.
