I started the development of a new django-like admin interface. You can find it here: https://github.com/rif/web2admin
It is very basic but still usable because it uses SQLFORM.smartgrid. I am announcing it early because I need your feedback and feature requests so that I can find out if grid will be able to support all the desired features. For quick start you can create a w2a_root group and add your user to that group. -rif --
