Thanks for the thoughts Dougal. At the moment the only "managing" of templates comes from uploading them through a form. If you wanted to change/fork them you'd have to create your own "design" and then re- upload the modified template.
Right now my example templates are super simple HTML templates (they're in the repository mentioned above). If a design implements then it will preferentially render the design's template over my own. I do like the idea of people uploading templates that over-ride admin templates. It would make it more "plug-able" with current django installations. I could use many different models to to show all of the possible "view-types" that the standard ModelAdmin allows. Although I have a question about the usefulness of these templates. (my understanding at least) Is that the admin site is supposed to be a "no-mess" administration site that "covers all the bases" so the coder doesn't have to worry about implementing it. Do you think this would be a useful resource for people creating "front-facing" templates though? The problem I see with a "wiki style" editing would be people introducing malicious code which I end up unknowingly loading into django and exposing myself and others to the whims of "bad people". "Forking" a design would be pretty easy in implement, I could simply copy the relevant files into a new one.
