Comment (by jpic):
Since codingjoe told me a couple of days ago that he didn't know about
django-autocomplete-light (which i maintain) before he took over on
django-select2, it should be mentioned that django-autocomplete-light also
has support for generic foreign key which we might want in django admin as
well (and it supports django-generic-m2m too), supports add-another (even
outside the admin) and so on. While django-select2 might be lucky enough
that it gets its features inside contrib.admin, I'm affraid that DAL will
still require maintainance even in future versions of django. Anyway,
autocompletion is a really rich subject and I recommend to write the
documentation before the implementation itself, which use cases do you
want to support and so on.
