This lead me to believe I could add arbitrary options to the command and pass them in to the context, which would make for some highly configurable app/project boilerplates. But, from looking at the [https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/management/templates.py source] I gather by 'any options' they meant any valid options for the startapp/project commands. Do you think it would be a cool feature to be able to pass any options or a file that defines additional context (maybe something consumable by [http://docs.python.org/library/configparser.html ConfigParser])? e.g. bp-options.cfg: [options] css_dir=sass js_dir=coffee ~/projects$ django-admin.py --template=/path/to/boilerplate --context=/path/to/bp-options.cfg myproject I would definitely be willing to give this a shot if it is deemed useful.
