Although I think this view is mostly true at the moment I have a
feeling that it will change in the near future.
The admin pages are currently fairly customisable and newforms-admin
expands this capability extensively.
The problem is two-fold:
1. Documentation in this area is fairly weak and a

tutorial to make the Poll application. The way I see it, the Admin
module is for the site builders to have an automatic interface to
maintain the look-up tables (sometimes called domain tables). These
are the tables that
I'll give you a real life example:

of the application developers (app producents team).
2. The same Admin panel is used by Application Admin who is a person
delegated by a customer (he is in fact a more priviledged application

Thanks for clearing that up.
The 'Instant Django' code is really just a batch file, nothing too
complicated.
The idea was that when someone wants to mess around with Django,

Thank you for your reply. I like your point of view, and it makes
sense to me.
To paraphrase: Admin is a good way to quickly get under the hood and
work with the 'raw' data, not a way for users to interact with your
web application.
I guess that I misunderstood the official tutorial.

Are you referring to my 'Instant Django' website?
I would have no problems
I think it would actually be of more benefit if you could/would
contribute this to the django project and have it on the project site.

Thank you for your reply.

also think the choice is confusing to new users sooo, let's get some
documentation improved on this - feel free to contribute to the ticket -
I'll try to do likewise.

Do you mean for other users but yourself? In this case IMO you can
compare giving someone access to the admin backend to giving someone
access to something like phpMyAdmin. So basically you want to give
