It’s been a few days since I’m using jedi auto complete for vim, but for now all I can say is that it’s highly recommendable.

W3C announced that it has:

published the complete definition of the HTML5 and Canvas 2D specifications. Though not yet W3C standards, these specifications are now feature complete, meaning businesses and developers have a stable target for implementation and planning. “As of today, businesses know what they can rely on for HTML5 in the coming years, and what their customers will demand,” said Jeff Jaffe, W3C CEO.

It seems that django admin revamp discussions started again.

Last year, I sent a letter to santa asking for 12 transformers with super laser powers. I waited nicely and then received a little playmobil.

So, here’s my letter to santa this year:

• admin css must be in lesscss too, ie. you could override variables.less,
• widgets that are usable outside the admin should not be in django.contrib.admin, ie. the bootstrap-calendar widget should be usable outside the admin too,
• ChangeList should be decoupled, and even refactored into 2 separate modules: one for table display like django-tables2 and one for queryset filtering,
• for models with lots of fields, tabs are a must in the form,
• views and urls should be “normal”, have a fixed name and arguments instead of name generation,
• detail view and “read” permission support,
• per object and per field CRUD permissions,
