18277	Startproject/app template documentation confusing	sam@…	domguard	"For [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#django-admin-option---template app/project templates] I found the docs a little misleading when they say 'Any option passed to the startapp command' will be added to the context. 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.
