Re: a request for some brain picking

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.
