No, they don't. At the moment, the admin interface uses oldforms. The newforms-admin interface will use newforms. This is a major change (hence the branch), but it is required because oldforms will be deprecated in 0.96, and removed before 1.0. This is the major push behind newforms-admin. In the process, we are taking the opportunity to remove the Admin definition from the model definition (which is a long overdue design change), and do some housekeeping that makes it easier to customize the admin view, and deploy multiple admin views. Generic auth is all about allowing any other user login/authentication scheme. Nothing to do with newforms, but the newforms-admin changes should make it easier to integrate generic-auth with the admin framework. RLP is all about having permissions on a per instance, rather than per-class basis. Nothing to do with newforms, but the newforms-admin changes should make it easier to integrate RLP with the admin framework. > I don't > see the point of adding something like this that can only be used in > the Django admin.

The port to newforms is required if oldforms is to be deprecated, and this is the major push behind newforms-admin. To boot, the admin features _are_ a general set of features. Most of the newforms-admin port is about getting generic views and edit_inline working properly with newforms, beacuse the admin app rely upon the same tools that are available to every application. The only difference is that the Admin application (and it is a normal application like any other) is polished to allow some very specific customization options that are useful in an admin context, and comes with some pre-canned templates that are all perty.
