[Python Edinburgh] Hack Session

[Dougal Matthews]

Over lunch I briefly spoke with Russell Keith-Magee (Django core dev) and
Alex Gaynor (almost a core dev) and they had a few suggestions for those
that want to get involved with Django. Alex Gaynor also said that if people
are interested he will try to be around on IRC to help out.

* General Django 1.3 bug fixing
* Reviewing tickets and ticket triaging.
* "doctest genocide" - removing doctests and replacing with Unit tests.

Cheers,
Dougal
