Hi Asif - You're probably noticing some pushback already, so I want to give you some background as to why that's the case.
The admin may look simple on the surface, but it's shockingly complex and represents a ton of work. The original version was the work of a whole team (Simon, Adrian, Wilson, Dan, me) working very closely with a group of users (the editors and journalists for lawrence.com, kusports.com, and ljworld.com) for over a year. It was nearly a perfect environment for product development, one that's hard to replicate (and probably impossible in an all-volunteer community). Then, that focused effort was followed by a decade of incremental improvement by hundreds of people across the Django community. The tools available *have* gotten better, but the level of effort to build a new admin from scratch is truly monumental. If you want to see it happen: START. Build a team. Write code. Find users so you can iterate effectively. Figure out how that team is going to be able to devote the year or more of effort it'll take. Raise money. Recognize how hard a problem it is, and be prepared to tackle it. But please don't ask others to do that work for you. That's why you're getting pushback -- because you're implying that "Someone Else" should do this work for you, probably for free. If you want to see this happen, it's going to take some real leadership, and almost certainly a lot of time and/or money. Maybe you're that leader; if you are I wish you the best of luck.
