Dear Developers -- and all you seasoned users :-)

We are going to use  arches3 / arches-hip as a database on archaeological 
sites in Greece and Turkey. 
For this purpose we need to adapt  Resource Graphs in arches-hip to 
accomodate new fields. 

Dennis Wuthrich already supplied us with the following hints (thank you, 
Dennis). I am putting the question to the forum as I hope it will foster 
crowd-intelligence:

You can modify these graphs, or create new graphs to meet your data

This step is quite clear to us (at least we think so, before having really 
started) 

One thing to know: once you create new graphs you will need to create new

As far as I understand, arches "ends" when it comes to provide / adapt 
 forms and reports for the business data. 
But maybe there is slightly more information available on how actually 
proceed with these necessary adaptations in arches' python / javascript and 
html code?   
In the online-documentation there are some placeholders for "Forms" and 
"Reports" -- is there any chance to get some preliminary pieces of 
documentation on that already? 

Anybody out there who already made changes to arches' Resource-Graphs and 
went through the subsequent adaptations in the code?   

A more specific question: I am not really familar with Django yet, 
therefore I have to ask a probably "naive" question: to which extent does 
arches rest on Django? Will the necessary adaptations become clear / 
obvious / trivial :-)  for anybody with a sounder knowledge of Django, or 
will we always need to go through the whole source-code of arches in order 
to build up the necessary understanding of implementation-details? 

Finally we will have to plunge into the code, I know, but I am still hoping 
we won't have to do it blindly :-)

Many thanks & all the best

Hannes
