While I liked much bootstrap, foundation's mobile first approach of Foundation is appealing even if more verbose.

I though it was about something more «disruptive» that's why I called the page AdminNext to follow the naming of next html version... whatever the naming, the goal should be the same aka. not only a cbv-Admin which should only adress the customisability (and readability) side but add features. This lead me to the group/permission-centric admin which creates menu based on permissions, but I did not implement it. I've documented a sketch API [1], but I'm not very happy with it, I'm now thinking about something in the spirit of lettuce to create an admin. I stopped working on the composite admin because a) the composite thing is too much b) I wasn't confortable with the code handling inlines in current admin so I started thinking about fixing it but got stuck (!). Also there is this conversation that is somehow related: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/django-developers/wI18E6BZImQ/TS2wSvUCkaAJ Maybe Django should gather money somehow and tell a company to do the job instead of relying on the community ?
