We don't need someone from the core team to *build* it. It's also worth pointing out that this is a classic example of a project that can develop external to Django's core. In theory, Django's admin could be a completely separate project. If a replacement is to be developed, it makes sense for that replacement to be developed external to the core repository, and only be included in core when it reaches a certain level of maturity. > For the former - I believe there was already discussions on that sort of > thing on this board? > > There's a wiki page with some notes as well: > > https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AdminNext > There's a world of difference between "some notes" and "a clear plan and direction" :-) > I also had a look at some of the existing projects: > > - https://github.com/yawd/yawd-admin > - https://github.com/michaelhelmick/django-bootstrap-admin (Doesn't > appear to be too active) > - https://github.com/riccardo-forina/django-admin-bootstrapped > - https://github.com/aobo711/bootstrap-django-admin > - > https://github.com/gkuhn1/django-admin-templates-twitter-bootstrap(Doesn't > appear to be too active) > - https://github.com/divio/djangocms-admin-style > > And there's obviously Grapelli. > > A lot of these are obviously just reskins, while others offer a bit more. > > From the existing projects, we can draw two clear requirements that people > want: > > - Changing the look and feel - I'm not sure what Django core's > feelings on it, but there seems to be a feeling from the community that the > look of the current Django Admin is somewhat dated?

However, both are extremely busy men. Idan did some initial work at DjangoCon 2 years ago, but I don't think there's been a whole lot of progress since then.
