The content editing interface.

Django’s builtin admin application provides a really good and usable administration interface for creating and updating content. django-content-editor extends Django’s inlines mechanism with an interface and tools for managing and rendering heterogenous collections of content as are often necessary for content management systems. For example, articles may be composed of text blocks with images and videos interspersed throughout.

That, in fact, was one of the core ideas of FeinCMS. Unfortunately, FeinCMS has accumulated much more code than strictly necessary, and I should have done better in this regard. Of course FeinCMS still contains much less code than comparable CMS systems, but we can do even better and make it more obvious what’s going on.

So, django-content-editor.
