Thats the idea. The move to newforms is significant, but the change
that will have the biggest effect is the ease with which the admin
interface can be customized.

As for documentation - this is one of the missing pieces at the
moment. There is the start of formal documentation:

http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/branches/newforms-admin/docs/admin.txt

But this doesn't cover much beyond basic setup. There are more details
in the wiki:

http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/NewformsAdminBranch

but even this doesn't cover all the changes. The best option (and I
admit it's less than optimal) is to look at the code - in particular:

http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/branches/newforms-admin/django/contrib/admin/options.py

which is the code that defines the ModelAdmin class. This will let you
know all the options that are available, and should give you an idea
of the methods that could be overridden in your own Admin deployment.

There is a very good reason why we are making such a big change, and
why it is taking a while to get right - but once it is done, it will
be worth the wait.
