If your user is logged in, you can use the authentication framework's
Message class:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#messages
Otherwise, you could store it in the session temporarily, or use a GET
parameter:
HttpResponseRedirect('/items/?message=Thank+you+for+your+submission')
and get your view to pass request.GET['message'] into the template
context.
