Using django CMS
================
.. note::
This is a new section in the django CMS documentation, and a priority for the
project. If you'd like to contribute to it, we'd love to hear from you - join us on

This is the user guide for django CMS. The intended audiences for this guide are content
creators and site administrators.
Django CMS sites are highly customisable and varied. The examples here follow the
`quickstart project from Github `_.
This provides certain features, which are entirely optional for your own site, and the
features provided in the quickstart are used in this guide to demonstrate how django CMS
can be used.
The origin of this document is a guide provided by `Kapt.mobi
`_. It has been translated from the
native French and extended.
