This is fantastic! I also see it is already packaged as a plugin. I only took a quick look at the source code. It is well written. I noticed you use the has_permission decorator everywhere therefore this is more suitable to be an admin to be exposed to users than an admin for the administrator. We could make some minor changes in those requirements and give all permissions to user logged in as "admin" and use this code to replace appadmin:
I see some pros and some significative differences (not really any cons): Pros: - looks better - can be exposed to users with permissions Differences: - current appadmin allows arbitrary queries, we would have to add that option for the administrator - current appadmin allows export/import in csv - current appadmin inherits layout from the app, this one does not - it would make the welcome app heavier (how much?) I think everybody should try this and we should discuss it. Congratulations Ramana!
