Django Styleguide Survey: Feedback

[RadoRado]

A collection if things to address, based on the feedback from the survey we are running - https://www.hacksoft.io/blog/django-styleguide-survey:

• [x] Explain why we are approaching this with a service layer & not custom model methods / custom managers & querysets
• [x] Add reasoning about the lack of ModelViewSet / other DRF generics
• [x] When to use function-based or class-based services
• [x] Make it clear, that you can cherry-pick things that you like from this particular styleguide. By no means you should follow it entirely.
• [ ] Explain why we are not following strict REST
• [ ] Working with M2M fields (services, selectors) :thinking:

Testing issue comment

[HomaDev]

Can I contribute? I mean would you consider checking PR, or is this repo for HackSoftware employees only?

[RadoRado]

@HomaDev Yes, we are open for contributions. I just want to manage expectations - if we decide that the contribution does not sit / fit well with the Styleguide, we might just refer it as an option.

Cheers!

@RadoRado Thanks! I'll try to add something worthy
