Jannis proposed that we add static files in. Brian concurred. So did I. No core developers objected. You're completely right about DDT, South, and -registration. What makes them different? * Nobody's asked that DDT be included in Django. Last I spoke to Rob about it, he felt it needed a bit more time as a third-party app to stabilize the API and get more robust. I'd happily support moving DDT into contrib if there's sufficient interest. * We've (at least, Russ and I have) talked a lot with Andrew about how South might fit into contrib. The consensus was that there's still a good deal of exploring to be done in the schema evolution space -- there's at least a couple-three tools that could easily be considered "good enough". However, we agreed that we should push some of the parts of schema migration down into Django, particularly DDL generation, migration discovery, and perhaps migration tracking. Andrew was offered a commit bit partially to help make this work happen more smoothly. * Like DDT, nobody's proposed that -registration be included in Django. I'm not sure that James would be interested, either: he's got a different opinion on contrib versus external apps than I do. Like DDT, I'd go along if there was sufficient interest and if James was willing. Jacob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
