Hi Adi, Thanks for your take on this, and for the demarcation criterion you've provided. This is helpful for my understanding of perceptions of the admin's purpose. What are the reasons why you have chosen to draw the line where you have? You see, given that so much great CRUD functionality comes for free with the admin, it strikes me as not being very DRY to manually create a whole other set of forms/views/etc for users unless you really need to provide the users with a very different look and feel to that offered to the site's administrators. Does anyone else share my feelings? Is there a third way? E.g. subclassing the admin's functionality for front end users?
