	Added docs/internals/mailing-lists.txt documenting the use of django's mailing lists. All references across docs changed to point to this page. The referencing makes use of substitution because there's no way to make a :ref: link in a non-inline fashion in Sphinx. It also makes use of rst_epilog Sphinx conf for making this substitutions across all the docs.

Third-party distributions of Django
 | 
						|
===================================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Many third-party distributors are now providing versions of Django integrated
 | 
						|
with their package-management systems. These can make installation and upgrading
 | 
						|
much easier for users of Django since the integration includes the ability to
 | 
						|
automatically install dependencies (like database adapters) that Django
 | 
						|
requires.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Typically, these packages are based on the latest stable release of Django, so
 | 
						|
if you want to use the development version of Django you'll need to follow the
 | 
						|
instructions for :ref:`installing the development version
 | 
						|
<installing-development-version>` from our Git repository.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you're using Linux or a Unix installation, such as OpenSolaris,
 | 
						|
check with your distributor to see if they already package Django. If
 | 
						|
you're using a Linux distro and don't know how to find out if a package
 | 
						|
is available, then now is a good time to learn.  The Django Wiki contains
 | 
						|
a list of `Third Party Distributions`_ to help you out.

For distributors
 | 
						|
================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you'd like to package Django for distribution, we'd be happy to help out!
 | 
						|
Please join the |django-developers| mailing list and introduce yourself.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We also encourage all distributors to subscribe to the |django-announce| mailing
 | 
						|
list, which is a (very) low-traffic list for announcing new releases of Django
 | 
						|
and important bugfixes.
