Description

Need to write a doc of things so we don't forget. Should mention

  • import linter
  • model conventions
  • private API conventions
  • public API conventions
  • preferred way to make tests
  • places where we deviate from OEP-49 (particularly how we pass around querysets)
  • philosophy on small apps that encapsulate discrete pieces of functionality
  • philosophy on extensible models
  • boundaries we want to enforce (e.g. leaving authorization out)

(other folks please feel free to add stuff)

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue names no target file or existing documentation entry point. Start by reviewing the listed conventions and OEP-49, then identify where the new app checklist belongs; done means a documented checklist covering the requested conventions, testing guidance, architectural boundaries, and queryset deviations.
