Hi Chinmay. Thanks for your interest. A 13 year old ticket would certainly be a nice-to-close. 🙂
Some quick thoughts: 1. We're close to the deadline here, so can you turn this into a final proposal? (Look at the example for a previous year: https://gist.github.com/chrismedrela/82cbda8d2a78a280a129 — we need something like this.) 2. You've begun well telling us who you are. But tell us more in your proposal. We don't know you already and need to be confident that you'd be likely to succeed in your project. 3. We already use select2 for the autocomplete in the admin. https://select2.org. This would integrate well with that by the looks of it. 4. Would this take 12 weeks? If not there are lots of Admin tickets <https://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=assigned&status=new&component=contrib.admin&stage=Accepted&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=owner&col=type&col=component&col=version&desc=1&order=id> — I'm sure we can help find some, but any related target ticket you identify are all for the good. Time is short here. :) Kind Regards, Carlton On Thursday, 14 March 2019 01:03:33 UTC+1, Chinmay Relkar wrote: > > Hi, > My name is Chinmay Relkar.
