I'm still trying to understand the purpose of the admin interface. I don't think STACKED does exactly what I want, but my question is more of a broad one. Is it meant to be used with a complex application? It seems to me that you can't make changes to the admin interface because you have no control over the template or the view. Say I wanted to create my own template and view for handling a specfic weird object, is there even a way to add a link on the main admin page to my custom view/template? I get the impression for some projects you have to end up writing your own whole new custom admin interface, is that true?
