Improving the mailman-bundler flow for production environments
Hi all,
I've been made aware several times that the mailman-bundler docs don't work super well for folk who are focused on getting a production rather than a development server up and running. Now, I know we're hoping that there will be distro packages and an easier path for this eventually (please, if you're interested in doing some distro packaging, we need help!) but I thought I'd take a stab at making it better even for people going from source.
I've started a fork with my first thoughts here:
https://gitlab.com/terriko/mailman-bundler/blob/production-doc/README.rst
It includes: production documentation (although I think my link is broken right now.
- a new section "Development vs Production" with a note about the expected workflow (development->test->production) and a pointer to the
My restructuredtext-fu is weak tonight and google didn't help.)
- Something more explicit in "Run the services" about how to run django on something other than localhost.
Those were the two things that really stood out for me when I was setting up a server this week, but I am certain they're not the only places where we could be more clear.
So... I'd like some feedback! What seems confusing about the doc? What concerns are there for production servers that we aren't addressing?

PS - Don't worry, I will make a merge request when I fix the formatting errors, but it's late and I wanted to get an email out before I go to bed
