I'd like to propose a project to split out the table/list functionality and the filtering functionality in the django admin into a seperate contrib app. This is really core functionality which is lacking from django (in terms of being locked to the admin app). I believe this would be beneficial because currently there are a lot of people who love using the admin interface but find building the same functionality into their own applications daunting at best. This leads a lot of people to try to abuse the admin app by allowing regular users into there.
I propose moving a lot of the django-tables2 functionality into a contrib app and augumenting it with filterspec. Then the admin can use this app, or any custom subclass of Table/Filter. Currently, django- tables2 is fantastic but has no support for filterspecs which would be super super helpful, and would benefit from the level of [url] abstraction that d-t2 provides. I'm posting to this group to gather feedback and ask if anyone would actually like to see this happen. I believe it's something i'd love to contribute but only if the django devs would be interested in incorporating it.
