I'll try not to feel a-salt-ed... </rimshot> :-) I was only peripherally aware of Grapelli; from an initial inspection, it looks good. If this design competition gets off the ground, Grapelli looks like it might be a great pret-a-porter competition entry. It's also a great indication of the separation between views and templates that Django enforces. Django core's design recalcitrance be damned - designers *should* be able to contribute media+template packs that override or enhance Django admin's default look and feel, in the same way that developers can write and maintain contrib apps external to the core. If this isn't something that can be done transparently, then that's a bug that we need to fix. > Sorry to completely hijack this thread but would django-mobileadmin be > considered for inclusion to trunk (during the 1.3 timeline)? iPhones and > other mobile devices are getting pretty prolific and I love having the > mobile admin site available when I login from my iPhone (which happens > surprisingly often). I don't know about mobileadmin specifically, but having good support for identifying mobile devices sounds like a good addition to contrib. If we can back that up with a mobile support in the admin, all the better. Sounds like proposals for 1.3 are already starting :-) Yours, Russ Magee %-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
