This page was created as a way to collect tickets, wiki pages, etc. that have similar goals. A ticket keyword just isn't enough sometimes. Add a group, description, analysis, and/or links about a feature you are interested in. If there is too much information about the feature to fit on this page, then create a wiki page dedicated to that feature and link to it here.

Please note that there is already a grouping of VersionOneFeatures.

Incorrect SQL construction

There are a bunch of these, so here's a placeholder for them. Many are already assigned to mtredinnick; the remainder should be. I'm working on a rewrite of the query creation portion of QuerySets -- Malcolm.

Manipulators

Current manipulator tickets should be tested with newforms to make sure the problems aren't repeated

Feature requests that need a decision on whether or not to add to newforms

Tickets still need to be looked at: http://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&summary=%7EManipulator&order=priority
