# The "contrib" add-ons

Django aims to follow Python's "batteries included" philosophy. It ships with a variety of extra, optional tools that solve common Web-development problems.

This code lives in `django/contrib` in the Django distribution. Here's a rundown of the packages in `contrib`:

## admin

The automatic Django administrative interface. For more information, see Tutorial 3.

## comments

A simple yet flexible comments system. This is not yet documented.

## flatpages

A framework for managing simple "flat" HTML content in a database.

See the flatpages documentation.

## markup

A collection of template filters that implement these common markup languages:

> - Textile
> - Markdown
> - ReST (ReStructured Text)

## redirects

A framework for managing redirects.

See the redirects documentation.

## syndication

A framework for generating syndication feeds, in RSS and Atom, quite easily.

See the syndication documentation.

## Other add-ons

If you have an idea for functionality to include in `contrib`, let us know! Code it up, and post it to the django-users mailing list.
