Currently it isn't easy for a new contributor to get a realistic database in order to work on issues.

This is made more difficult by the fact that the default settings use sqlite3 but prod uses mysql. Unless you are willing to run a mysql server locally (I am, not everybody is) you can't import production data.

Can we make it easy to dump prod to sqlite? Or generate django fixtures that can be imported?

Come up with a strategy and document it so that its easy for a less experienced contributor to run the site locally with realistic data.
