If you store the templates as a text field in the database, editing it through the admin interface will work without you having to do any work. You'll need to use a template loader that knows how to load database-stored templates. There are a couple of those around. Earlier today, on this list, somebody point to this one, for example: http://code.google.com/p/django-databasetemplateloader/ If you want file-backed storage, then you'll need to write a special model field that knows how to take the name or templated identifier and return the data from disk and also display the right widget in the admin interface. Whilst not impossible to do with current admin, that will be easier with newforms-admin (and some field-subclassing helpers and documentation that hasn't landed on trunk yet because I've been busy on other things).
