I’ve been learning Django (coming from other web frameworks) and it’s been tough to find great tutorials and guides on some aspects of building a Django app. I’ve always thought it would be interesting to have a tutorial site that is open source, kinda like [readthedocs.io](http://readthedocs.io) but tutorials. This would allow anyone to create a tutorial and the community could help refine and clarify it overtime. It could provide a great collection of best practices and guides.

A few questions:

- Am I just not looking in the right places to find the right resources when learning Django or is this a common problem other newbies can relate to?
- Would this be interesting to anyone?
- Is there a major downside to something like this that I could be missing?

Off the top of my head tutorials could be things like:

- celery integration and best practices
- Cookiecutter
- Generic Django tutorials
- Environment variables
- Pytest
