Jashugan,

I agree that generic views for non-admins make sense, just be nice to
be able to say

body_html = auto_generate(model, list/display/update etc.)

or whatever admin is doing and stick that in a generic template.

{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block main %}

{{body_html}}

{% endblock %}


What do you think?
