20741	Add extra context to templates of « start{app,project} » management commands	palkeo	jcatalan	"Hi,

When creating a new app or a new project, you can generate it from a template. It will contain files, and some files can be rendered by the template engine.
See the docs : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#startapp-appname-destination

I would like to add the possibility of passing extra template context, though command line parameters.

For example, that would allows us to pass an extra variable, « author », in the template context… so the generated app can correctly reference the author.
We could also use it to choose a license…


The code that needs to be modified is here : https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/management/templates.py#L113
I think it would be quite easy to change, and I can do a patch if you want.

What do you think about it ?"	New feature	closed	Core (Management commands)	1.5	Normal	wontfix		contact@…	Unreviewed	1	0	0	1	1	0
