While playing around a bit with newforms-admin, I noticed that it's
ever-so-close to being able to handle one cool use case which came up
during the design discussion at PyCon: running django.contrib.admin
without django.contrib.auth.

Tell me if I'm crazy here, but what if LogEntry objects were created
upon emission of some signal? That way, other apps could hook in and
log their own actions as well, along with removing the admin's
dependency on auth. It could go into django.contrib.logging or
something.

Doh! I just had a read through the dispatcher code and there's a lot
more going on there than I previously thought (possibly due to the
frequency of signal requests, like you mentioned).

Thats not really the problem, even if I don't really like it and don't
think it's what perfectionists like either.

Let me start by saying I haven't read over this entire post (only
briefly on the initial thread).
For messages, why not switch these to using sessions? We have
implemented anonymous (on-demand) sessions locally, it could be very
useful to do this in general.
