Currently, you can design your database to include a link to a file
that has already been uploaded 'meta.FilePathField' or you can actually
upload the file 'meta.FileField' (and yes 'meta.ImageField').  But the
main dilema i see is when you want to let your editors include their
own layouts for the images.  In other words, i want a system where you
can upload from the admin section to various different directories
(possibly ADMIN_UPLOAD_DIRS=(...) in settings.py) and then when editing
there could be a little dropdown that lists the various media files (i
don't know how to extend this as much).

So, this might be a specific or bad solution that most people wouldn't
recommend, i just know that sometimes articles need different layouts
and rather than make static layouts for each different style (1 pic, 2
pic, 3 pic etc etc) i wanted to let the editors design their layout.

If anyone could give me any input on where to start or maybe a
architectural breakdown of the admin system, (it's quite a lot to dig
through the code) it'd be a nice starting point.
