Hello everyone. There have been lot of discussions about, how the Django Admin should be modernised and redesigned. This is an attempt to combine the best ideas.

It shouldn’t be just selecting one from already existing admin UI packages or disregard them all.

I’m sure all existing admin UI apps represents their own unique properties.

Most challenging thing would be to select what features to pick from them all.(In my opinion).  
Can’t try to put it all. It would be unnecessary.

There have been multiple attempts and topics on this already. I just collected ones that I could find.
