I'm just curious what is your opinion. :) > Hi Tymoteusz, As a volunteer project, what gets added to Django is whatever gets contributed. We don't make plans and then execute on those plans. I'm not aware of anyone who is actively working on a major rewrite/refactor of Django's admin at the moment. The state of Django's Admin is a topic that has been discussed many times, over many years. I don't think you'd get any disagreement that there is room for improvement; but it's also a big project. There have been a number of third party projects that propose to replace Django's admin (most notably django-admin2, but it's by no means the only project with this goal). The key thing here is that a new admin could be entirely constructed as a third-party project. Django's existing admin doesn't do anything special - it's "just" a Django app, like any other. If you're particularly motivated, you could build your own Django admin using the tools that Django provides (and, as of 1.8, documents as official, stable API). For what it's worth, I've got my own crazy ideas about what a "new" Django admin would look like, which I've hinted at at various conferences (hunt down any of my conference talks about class based views). However, I'm not likely to get any time soon to look at this as a project - I've got plenty of other yaks that I'm shaving at the moment :-) Yours Russ Magee %-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
