This post is for discussion of improvements to the related objects interface. It mostly concerns the implementation of more Javascript/ Ajax that will allow for a 'slicker' inline related object editing interface.
As far as I can see there are two major points of discussion: 1.) Is it a good idea to add this functionality to the Django standard shipment, or should it be packaged separately in an application? 2.) How exactly should it work? Here are my humble opinions: 1.) I believe that this should be a separate application that uses an extensive Javascript library. Right now the inline edit interface is sufficient for most use cases. I also saw that version 1.1 will allow for such an application to be created in a nice and clean way. 2.) For the most part it seems to me that there is very little need for actually using Ajax at all to create a better inline editing interface. It does require a bit of Javascript though, but this is easily taken care of when using your favorite Javascript library (if you package it separately). An example would be to just hide a deleted item once the delete icon is clicked and marking it for deletion. I believe working like this is better due to it sticking with the 'click save to save' principal. If we where to improve inline editing for the standard shipment, I would say that this would be the best way to go about it. I've managed to implement delete, sorting and add in this manner. If anyone is interested I can post my code as either a separate application (using jQuery) or a patch for the standard shipment of Django. That's enough from me.
