Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, so please redirect me if it's
not.

I'm new to Django/Python, but not to coding. I've run through the
Django tutorial and I like what I see.

A very common problem that I work on is a webapp that "tracks"
something. People, computers, assets, you name it. The data model is
nearly always the same. Track objects that have metadata and are
associated to other objects, be able to query that data and possibly
produce reports. It's clear that Django can solve my problem, but
before I start, I'm wondering if someone has already generalized this
problem?

Something like a generic "object tracker" that is 90% complete, just
add the metadata and relationships and you're done. I'd rather not
keep writing the same code over and over, which would violate the
"DRY"(tm) rule. :-)  Maybe there's no such thing as a "generic
tracking model", and if not, I'd be tempted to create one before I
start on my first app.

Any thoughts from experienced Django developers?

TIA,

Doug
