Description

I've just cleaned up #2592 and cross-referenced it with comments on the tutorials. Most of the comments on there are simple misconfigurations, or errors where the user hasn't followed the tutorial closely enough, and these should be directed to django-users/#django where they can be helped quickly, or asked to file a ticket if there's a bug.

This would also have two follow on effects:
First, it would leave a better impression on people than having 15-20 outdated and contradictory comments complaining that Django doesn't work.
Second, it would increase visibility of common issues that people have with the tutorials so they can be fixed (because these are the first encounter with Django, we need to make them as smooth as possible).

For example:

If you have any problems with this tutorial, please post a message to django-users (http://groups.google.com/group/django-users) or drop by #django on IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/django) and we'll try to help. If you think you've found a bug, please file open a ticket at http://code.djangoproject.com/simpleticket

(In [4594]) Fixed #3354: added a message to tutorial 1 about where to go for help. Thanks to Marc Fargas for the original patch, but I ended up going with a somewhat softer wording just to be double-plus-ultra-sure not to turn anyone off.
