outdated description in Django admin site documentation

[gaumann]

The second sentence in the Django admin site documentation (​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#ref-contrib-admin) begins: "It reads metadata in your model to provide a powerful and production-ready interface that ..." I am just learning Django but it seems to me that this describes the old admin approach and now it reads metadata primarily from an Admin class. If my understanding is correct this sentence should be modified to reflect the change in 1.0

[Brian Rosner]

That sentence is still valid in 1.0. The admin is still reading metadata (being fields for example) to construct an admin interface. An admin class is not required for the admin to work.

But the metadata is no longer in the model, now it is in a ModelAdmin class.

[Alex Gaynor]

Data is still read from the Model itself, for example for the model the admin gets the types of fields, so it knows when to use the date time widget.

Replying to Alex:

Data is still read from the Model itself, for example for the model the admin gets the types of fields, so it knows when to use the date time widget.

I realise that it is reading some metadata from the model. However the way the documentation is written it is effectively saying it reads metadata only from the model. However in newforms it is reading metadata from both the ModelAdmin class that is registered with the model and the Model class. Hence I still think the documentation is confusing and it would be better to change it.
