I’ve added a list of DjangoCon US 2025 recap articles at the end of my post — but I’m sure I’ve missed some! If you’ve written or seen other recaps, please share the links so I can add them.

I’d also love your feedback on my article

This is an interesting question.

I missed the previous one. Also, the input field has a max length.

I agree with you. Someone already proposed it in the past but can be proposed again.

To be explicitly clear, I think you could strip out the environment variable loading stuff. Really just want there to be a standardized database url format parser. Does a lot to encourage not keeping database configuration in settings.py if there is a guided path to loading the secret.

I've added four new ideas to my list of possible improvements for Django and its community. I'd like to know what you think. https://www.paulox.net/2024/01/19/my-django-roadmap-ideas/

Thanks for your feedback. I confirm Django is very stable but we're trying to constantly improve it too. See for example the Release Notes https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/releases/

Do you think anything from this roadmap is going to show up in the release notes?

I think so. But of course it would require times to be selected, prioritized and deployed before that.

In addition to the Newsletter and Feeds, it would be nice to have a Blog or News section where you can publish news every now and then, for example an article for the public domain day would have been very useful for making new publications known, simplifying sharing and attracting new volunteers or donors.
