========= Mezzanine ========= Welcome to the Mezzanine project. To learn more about Mezzanine please read the :doc:`overview` which contains a feature list, installation guide and other general information. To get an idea of the types of sites possible with Mezzanine, have a look at the `gallery of sites powered by Mezzanine `_. .. note:: A working knowledge of `Django `_ is required to work with Mezzanine and the documentation assumes as much. If you're new to Django, you'll need to work through the `Django tutorial `_ before being able to understand the concepts used throughout the Mezzanine documentation. *A mantra for working with Mezzanine: Mezzanine Is Just Django* - `Ken Bolton `_, Mezzanine core team member. **Front-end developers** might be interested in Mezzanine's ability for content authors to edit content directly within a page while viewing it on the website. You can read about this and how to implement this feature within templates under :doc:`inline-editing`. **Back-end developers** can get a better technical overview of how content is managed and how to customize Mezzanine in general by reading about Mezzanine's :doc:`content-architecture` which describes the main components and how to extend them with your own custom content types, or by reading about :doc:`model-customization` for implementing more low-level customizations as required. There is also a section on the :doc:`admin-customization` provided by Mezzanine, as well as a :doc:`model-graph` depicting the relationships between all the models. **System administrators** can find out about some of the production requirements and operations in the :doc:`deployment` and :doc:`caching-strategy` sections. **Further reading** includes :doc:`frequently-asked-questions`, :doc:`utilities`, a section on :doc:`user-accounts`, support for :doc:`multi-lingual-sites`, information about Mezzanine's :doc:`search-engine`, and a section on Mezzanine's :doc:`configuration` which outlines the various settings for configuring Mezzanine. Lastly, you can learn about :doc:`blog-importing` into Mezzanine, :doc:`twitter-integration`, or just browse the auto-generated docs for each of Mezzanine's :doc:`packages`.
