Thanks @ubernostrum!

Looking at Will’s proposals…

> 2. Add a basic signup option as well, which means a view, template, URL.
> 3. If we want to go crazy, include a basic form for logout, too, which now requires a POST request and I can assure you also confuses people.

… 1 and 3 seem less invasive: they’re about providing (minimal “do edit”) templates for the existing views in `django.contrib.auth`. 2 is getting into the land of `Django-registration`, which maybe (? — just a thought) is better as a how-to, showing something simple, but pointing to ecosystem options.

I guess I’d say it’s 2 that merits more of a `If we want to go crazy...` than 3, which is (again) just the template really.

🤔

Related: ref linking to external packages, a discussion at DjangoCon revolved around how we guide folks to _Ecosystem Batteries_ if we keep Django core itself small. `pip` works great, but you need to know what to `pip`
