heya, Aha, yes - we need a roadmap, and somebody from the team to execute it *grins*.
For the former - I believe there was already discussions on that sort of thing on this board? There's a wiki page with some notes as well: https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AdminNext I also had a look at some of the existing projects: - https://github.com/yawd/yawd-admin - https://github.com/michaelhelmick/django-bootstrap-admin (Doesn't appear to be too active) - https://github.com/riccardo-forina/django-admin-bootstrapped - https://github.com/aobo711/bootstrap-django-admin - https://github.com/gkuhn1/django-admin-templates-twitter-bootstrap (Doesn't appear to be too active) - https://github.com/divio/djangocms-admin-style And there's obviously Grapelli. A lot of these are obviously just reskins, while others offer a bit more. >From the existing projects, we can draw two clear requirements that people want: - Changing the look and feel - I'm not sure what Django core's feelings on it, but there seems to be a feeling from the community that the look of the current Django Admin is somewhat dated? Also, any new admin should probably be responsive, and work on mobile or non-desktop devices, if that's possible. - More customisations - a lot of people want to create dashboards around the admin, add new sections/tabs, or move things around - the current Admin doesn't have much scope for that, or it's not easily accessible. For the latter, not sure I can help you there...lol. I thought Idan Gazit was working on something before though? Or are there other designers on the Core team?
