Description
A few of us at DjangoCon EU 2014 have been discussing the idea of an interactive mode for the management command startproject (or startapp).
Passing --interactive or -i to the command would let you answer a few questions about your project, from which an ideal project setup is created, regarding settings etc.
This could for example be "Do you want to use a database?" or "Do you want to configure the new project according to your current location?" and so on.
Nothing very concrete at the moment, but I just wanted to probe the interest in such a feature before going into details. If in favor by the core devs, this is the kind of thing that would probably benefit from open discussion, to gather further ideas.
