Thank you. I'm focusing right now on unittest.

I'm thinking of having the field condensed on 1 line and being able to expand detail view using js. As I explained before, if you have any advice on usability/design I would be very happy to hear about them ! Once I'm done with permissions and forms, I will probably work a little more on the website itself adding a page to provide an overview of the project without having to register, a feedback tool, help section and a tutorial. > - if the goal is to provide a tool for non-developers, you may be > expose a bit too much of django internals: for instance such a user > may not care for the field types, know what a model is, etc. Yet if it > is for hand-holding django newbies you introduce many concepts that a > newbie may not know about yet.

I agree on that but I'm not really fixed on the direction and audience for the project. I try to keep it as simple as possible, so it's not to hard to maintain and provide good and clean output. I hate those project that never works because you have to learn about it. I would like this project to generate easy to read code, with no dependencies and using django and python recommandation. My first thought was a solution to provide quickly basic models, forms and views so it give me more time to focus on fun and complex behavior. > - the license you picked seems to me a bit odd for software > http://github.com/debrice/djangogenerator/blob/master/LICENSE , you > may want to consider something more common: the same as django is > usually the simplest and best.
