[GeoNode-devel] [GeoNode-users] Changes to local_settings.py ignored [Windows, Apache]

I started responding to this more deeply, but realized it's a trap. Let's
not go down the rabbithole of debating personal feelings on ReST vs MD,
yeah?

GeoNode has a docs system already in-place, which requires minimal effort
to release an update. It takes no particular wizardry to update a typo in
our existing docs, so long as you are passingly familiar with Git+GitHub
itself. Since the actual Python language has a significantly "wider surface
area" and yet finds the same system we use sufficient for user docs
<https://docs.python.org> - why argue further.

Bottom line, it sounds like we've all agreed that some human-power should
be spent on updating what we currently have in place. Let's just *do* that,
and not waste time endlessly debating paint colors. :)
