Jacob Kaplan-Moss has started the process of defining the features we will set in the next major version of Django.
The features I'm hoping that make it into 1.1 are;
-
ORM Aggregation Support (ORM-01) - Would reduce the amount of SQL I have to write considerable (The ORM already does a good job at minimising the need for SQL, but this would be the icing on the cake).
-
Batch Editing in the Admin (Admin-01) - Make mass edits achievable in the admin interface with little additional code.
-
Class based generic views (View-01) - Just seems logically.
