= Little, easy improvements =

Here's a list of various improvements that we'd like to make to Django. Some are trivial, some are a bit more substantial, but all are easy enough to be a quick project for people who want to get involved with Django development.

||Test one of the [wiki:ActiveBranches active branches]||Branches are large or experimental features that are not yet ready for general use.  If you see one you like, testing is a great way to help get finished and included in Django.||||perennial||
||#2407||Test the CGI Handler|| ||Needs testing||
||#2998||django.utils.dateformat.py uses untranslated text|| || ||
||#3346||Document that Admin search_fields can be from related models|| || ||
||#834||authentication documentation should document the viewfuncs in django.views.auth.login|| || ||
||#2873|| Replace "ellington" references in django.conf.urls.registration with django ones|| || ||

||Project||Description||Taker?||Status||
||Unit tests for default template filters||Every template filter (see {{{django/core/template/defaultfilters.py}}}) should have unit tests in {{{tests/othertests/templates.py}}}. Most do not have tests.||Luke Plant, L.Plant.98@cantab.net||Done in [1811]||
||Unit tests for default template tags||Every template tag (see {{{django/template/defaulttags.py}}}) should have unit tests in {{{tests/othertests/templates.py}}}. Some are missing.||Nick Efford, nick (at) efford.net||Mostly done in [1944] and completed by others since then||
||Copy-friendly traceback on error pages||The debug error pages should provide an extra traceback solely for copying and pasting. The current traceback is really cool but doesn't lend itself to easy copy-and-paste for, say, the pastebin.||Joao Paulo Farias, jpaulofarias at gmail dot com || Done, see #1420 ||
||Terminal colors in django-admin||The django-admin.py utility would be friendlier and slicker if it used terminal colors.||Scott Lees|| Done in [2585] (was #1491) ||
||Tab-completion actions for django-admin||django-admin.py would be much cooler if it would tab complete actions and models.||paolo <paolo@php3.it>|| Done #1240 ||
||Quick Copy to pastebin||Create a one click link for users to send the "copy friendly errors" to http://django.pastebin.com with the input fields filled in with the traceback, ready for the user to hit "submit" || Dirk Datzert, dummy at habmalnefrage dot de || #2437 ||
