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.

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@…	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@…>	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
