Ideas we refined
Update auth contrib module to meet modern standards π10 β1
High impact, high effort.
PassKeys, 2FA & passwordless. Perhaps also take some inspiration from the social auth libraries so they can more easily hook in or at least be referenced in the documentation.
Making it happen
- Technical team
- Steering Council decision
- Major open source grant
Next steps
- Carlton: Get a specification of what βmodern standardsβ means.
- Speak with e.g. Technical Team, and other folks for this.
- Mark: Review specification from Carlton
- Unassigned: Review existing third party packages that exist based on the first point
- Unassigned: See if there are waypoints we can hit.
- Can we do it incrementally?
- Unassigned: Turn that into a draft DEP.
- Carlton: blog post about next steps on βUpdate contrib.auth custom model storyβ.
Django active developers Sprints π8β4
High impact, Mid-high effort. Raised hands: Paolo, Tom, Andy
Sprints, carried out preferably in person, aimed at working on a specific Django functionality (such as one of those listed in this document). They are organised at a safe distance from the conferences, with the support of some sponsors, involving active contributors in that functionality or aspiring such.
Making it happen
- Mergers team
- Releasers team
- Django person writing a blog post
- Fellow task
- Other solo effort
- Major open source grant
- DSF board discussion or vote
Next steps
- Andy: Write a blog post about Virtual Sprints and what next steps could be for this year
- Unassigned: Decide if this is in person or virtual? Virtual sprints low-barrier (The original proposal is for an in-person-first event)
DSF board office hours π8
Mid-high impact, Low effort. Raised hands: Thibaud
Once a month, for DSF members only. Talk about matters relating to the Foundation / contributors / members.
Making it happen
- DSF board discussion or vote
Next steps
- Thibaud: Raise this in the DSF Slack in #board channel.
Sponsored Django features π7 β3
High impact, Mid-high effort.
Letβs publish an official list of features the DSF would coordinate with contributors to implement if the right sponsor presents themselves.
Making it happen
- DSF board discussion or vote
Next steps
- Thibaud: Proposal to DSF members mailing list
Make Django-Upgrade Official π7
Mid-high impact, Mid-low effort.
Django Upgrade makes updating your project for changes a simple case of running a command. New syntax, new APIs etc. If we could make it official we would enable much more ambitious updates.
Making it happen
- DSF board discussion or vote
Next steps
- Carlton: Talk with Adam about his take on this
Built-In API Framework π6 β2
High impact, high effort.
Django is increasingly used just as an API server and FastAPI has proven the desire for a framework that has API views and ORMs out of the box (and I think Django is easier to write APIs in even still). We should adopt proper API views in the FastAPI/Ninja style.
Making it happen
- Triaging, reviewing, releasing: Fellow task
- Django contributor sprint team
- Google Summer of Code project
- Mergers team
- Releasers team
- DEP / Steering Council decision
- Major open source grant
Next steps
- Unassigned: Will require design iteration/negotiation before it gets there
- Unassigned: Evaluate existing 3rd party packages to either: learn from, or incorporate directly into main: django-rest-framework, django-ninja
- Unassigned: Next step is a draft DEP with proposed design and/or inviting design discussion on forum (but that would be better based on a concrete design). Andrew might be able to do this.
Common Table Expression (CTE) support π6 β1
Mid-high impact, high effort.
See fairly old Django ticket. Optional additional info here.
Making it happen
- Django contributor sprint team
- Other solo effort
Next steps
- Tim & Lily: Discuss and document approach
Move to Jinja2 as the default template language π5
This is a big one, but I believe itβs doable given a few improvements to template backend selection. The main barrier will be all the admin templates, as you cannot (currently?) extend or include templates across engines.
Making it happen
- Django contributor sprint team
- DEP / Steering Council decision
Next steps
- Thibaud: Create thread on forum for discussion
- Velda: Support starting discussions
Built-in rate limiting π5
Mid-high impact, Mid-high effort. Raised hand: Tom
This is built in for Rails and Laravel. For authentication-related views in particular β e.g. login.
Making it happen
- Security team
- Technical team
Next steps
- Tom: Try out as a third-party package
- Tom: Run it by Mark or security team / etc
- Unassigned: Likely will need at least forum discussion, maybe DEP.
Recommend Classy Class Based Views π4
Mid-high impact, Mid-low effort.
Recommend, but ideally reference ccbv.co.uk in the docs.
Making it happen
- Other solo effort
Next steps
- nassigned: Identify where in the docs links would exist (see [existing reference
- Unassigned: Create PR with proposed changes to docs / propose to Djangonaut Space mentees
Declarative βSettings Objectsβ π4
Mid-high impact, Mid-low effort.
A better way to encapsulate related settings. See the EMAIL_ settings. Other examples include: various security headers, cookie settings, and Iβm sure there are more. A better approach would be some kind of settings object β maybe dataclass based, or similar to those in Pydantic or attrs or elsewhere.
Making it happen
Next steps
Method-Based URL Routing π4
Mid-high impact, Mid-low effort.
An additional option in urlpatterns that allows routing by method as well as path if present (matching the first entry that satisfies everything, and allowed method defaulting to all if not provided for back compat)
Making it happen
- Django contributor sprint team
- Google Summer of Code project
- DEP / Steering Council decision
Next steps
- Unassigned: Needs design doc, discussion, DEP, but then implementation is likely relatively straightforward (few weeks for impl). Andrew happy to mentor this.
Simplify the English used in the Django contents π3
High impact, Mid-high effort.
The English used in the Django documentation and website is not always as simple as it could be, and sometimes contains unnecessarily complex terms or slang. I explored this topic in depth in my article βFLOSS and linguistic diversityβ.
Making it happen
- Django contributor sprint task for one person
- Google Summer of Code project
- Google Season of Docs project
- Accessibility team
- Social media working group
Next steps
- Unassigned: Organize a Documentation oriented working group
- Unassigned: Propose for βGoogle Season of Docsβ
- Unassigned: Propose for βGSoC 2023 project ideasβ
- Unassigned: Measure the current complexity of English used in documentation
- Ariane: Can help with this
Developer experience survey π3
Mid-high impact, Low effort.
Letβs ask Django developers what roadblocks they encounter when using Django, and which changes would make it easier for them to be more productive with the framework.
Making it happen
- DSF board discussion or vote
- DSF working group proposal
Next steps
Make some recommendations about front end π3
Mid-high impact, Mid-low effort.
It would be nice if Django had something to say about how to handle a modern the front end - perhaps a few different options, e.g. HTMX, and React. Those technologies are just an example, this initiative would pick a handful of them and add a write up to the docs or link to some projects that demonstrate how you can do more modern front end stuff with Django.
Making it happen
- Accessibility team
Next steps
- Unassigned: ββCheck out this discussion on Forum as the starting point.

Ideas (10min + 5min)
Community
Django writing club π2
Once a month / week time for people interested in writing to work together. Meet up online, work on your own articles, give feedback to each others.
DSF board office hours π8
Once a month, for DSF members only. Talk about matters relating to the Foundation / contributors / members.
Django pony stickers π1
Itβs about time we make the pegasus flying βponyβ mascot official. Letβs purchase a license to sell merchandise of the design, and make Django pony merch to sell on Threadless or Freewear.
Developer experience survey π3
Letβs ask Django developers what roadblocks they encounter when using Django, and which changes would make it easier for them to be more productive with the framework.
Developer relations working group π0
Djangoβs marketing is very poor compared to the competition. We need a group to take ownership of the issue, talk to the projectβs main users, and get the framework to not feel so dated.
Django active developers Sprints π8β4
Sprints, carried out preferably in person, aimed at working on a specific Django functionality (such as one of those listed in this document). They are organized at a safe distance from the conferences, with the support of some sponsors, involving active contributors in that functionality or aspiring such.
Django Developer Certification π1
A set of skills and knowledge a Django developer should work to attain to be proficient enough for employment. Optional additional info here.
Taking inspiration from Rails & Laravel π0
Have a look at what we think these communities do well and learn from them. They are both very popular in the SaaS space in terms of the conversation, Django while being just as good (if not better) rarely gets a mention.
Sponsored Django features π7 β3
Letβs publish an official list of features the DSF would coordinate with contributors to implement if the right sponsor presents themselves.
Documentation
Recommend Classy Class Based Views π4
Recommend, but ideally reference ccbv.co.uk in the docs.
Documentation chatbot π0
It is trivial to build a chatbot that does a decent job doing RAG on a set of documentation, giving context-specific answers and links to its source material. We could build one (or use a platform like scriv.ai to add one) and potentially host it somewhere - either on djangoproject.com or on a companion site.
Quick start in docs π2
Many popular web frameworks, even those based on Python (e.g., Flak, FastAPI) have minimal quick starts in their documentation that demonstrate how you can get started by writing very few lines of code. I propose to add a quick start section in the Django docs to demonstrate its flexibility. See ΞΌDjango.
Make some recommendations about front end π3
It would be nice if Django had something to say about how to handle a modern the front end - perhaps a few different options, e.g. HTMX, and React. Those technologies are just an example, this initiative would pick a handful of them and add a write up to the docs or link to some projects that demonstrate how you can do more modern front end stuff with Django.
Advanced tutorials π1
Testing an application, CI/CD examples, formset factory management, advancing and reversing migrations. Optional additional info here.
Community tutorial repository π2
Peer reviewed tutorials that have automated tests to confirm version(s) of Django. Optional additional info here.
Official Django Video Content (YouTube Channel) π0
Lots of people are looking for video content and most of the existing content is mixed in terms of promoting good practices. This content could be a mix of tutorials and opinion pieces.
Simplify the English used in the Django contents π3
The English used in the Django documentation and website is not always as simple as it could be, and sometimes contains unnecessarily complex terms or slang. I explored this topic in depth in my article βFLOSS and linguistic diversityβ.
Third-party package recommendations π2
Letβs endorse obvious choices in the docs or find a way for the community to better advocate for their choices. Optional additional info here.
Ecosystem
Have βofficialβ third-party packages π1
This is fairly broad but generally gives more recognition when there are a default (or two) third-party packages, meaning they get mentioned in the docs where relevant, perhaps moved to a central github org (similar to Jazzband, if not Jazzband itself) to aid in giving authority to those packages.
Django package template π0
I propose to create templates to create Django packages with all the technologies and best practices that we consider appropriate to improve the Django ecosystem.
Maintain a third-party app template (cookiecutter?) π0
Letβs maintain a template (cookiecutter maybe?) that lets folks get a 3PA bootstrapped instantly, to make experimenting with new features easier. The answer is always going to be βput it in a third-party appβ (3PA) β Djangoβs stability policy (and its userbase!) requires that we donβt experiment with APIs in Django itself.
Django website
Use of media on the Django website π1
The DSF sponsors many initiatives and conferences around the world, and at these conferences a lot of content, such as photos or videos, is produced. The DSF should freely use these media on the Django website to improve communication with the community. See for example DjangoConβs Flickr account.
Graphic elements on the website π0
Increase the amount of visual elements in the Django website content (e.g., graphs and infographics) to improve the communication of information and also in the documentation (e.g., admin screenshots) to simplify learning. SI could take inspiration from the action to capture screenshots for testing purposes.
Django installation feedback π0
On the installation page there are useful links to the Django documentation, the tutorial, the release notes and the community section of the Django website. It might be useful to give more relevance to these sections and also add some request for feedback on the installation or the proposal to join the forum, or the community discord server.
Deployment
DB-backed media storage for simple deployments π1
Serving media files from the database eliminates new developers from another production deployment hurdle. Optional additional info here.
Improve Deployment Story π2
Itβs too hard to get your Django app online. Deployment is obviously more than we can cover definitively but there have been numerous discussions about making it easier. We can do better docs, highlighting more modern approaches. We can improve the project templates to make them more deployment ready.
Authentication
Update auth contrib module to meet modern standards π10 β1
PassKeys, 2FA & passwordless. Perhaps also take some inspiration from the social auth libraries so they can more easily hook in or at least be referenced in the documentation.
Update contrib.auth custom model story π3
Djangoβs leaky battery is the recommendation that users create a custom user model. All folks really wanted was login-by-email, and a custom user model is something of a sledgehammer if all you want to crack is that little nut.
Built-in rate limiting π5
This is built in for Rails and Laravel. For authentication-related views in particular β e.g. login.
Built-in 2FA/Passkey support π0
Itβs the future of authentication, and it feels a little like weβre falling behind by not having it easy and built-in. Passkey only may be more reasonable.
Commands
Django announcements via the CLI π1
Django should have the ability to render community wide notifications to the terminal. The notifications would be on the level of DjangoCon announcements.
Rapid application development commands π0
Currently Django already has two very useful commands for starting a project and for starting new applications. It may be useful to provide other commands to create command line templates, related sections in the admin, or views.
Improve on startapp / startproject π2
The default project and app templates have barely changed at all in the last many years. It would be good if there were an initiative to either refresh them some, or if thatβs impossible, come up with a clean path of recommended alternatives to the default set up.
Multiple Start Project templates π1
Itβs come up many times now to change the default template. We should have a (small) number of different startproject options. (Letβs keep it maintainable!). We should also refresh (and promote more) the Write your own template advice.
Model chart generators π0
Djangoβs ORM does a great job of converting models into database tables. It could be very useful to have a command that generates graphs starting from models (e.g., UML class diagram) or starting from database tables (e.g., E-R model). The graphics could be in text format (e.g., DOT, mermaid)
Move management commands to Click π2
The existing way of doing it is a little cumbersome given modern CLI parsing options. This could be done as an optional dependency if wanted.
Make Django-Upgrade Official π7
Django Upgrade makes updating your project for changes a simple case of running a command. New syntax, new APIs etc. If we could make it official we would enable much more ambitious updates.
Templates
Move to Jinja2 as the default template language π5
This is a big one, but I believe itβs doable given a few improvements to template backend selection. The main barrier will be all the admin templates, as you cannot (currently?) extend or include templates across engines.
React-style block type into the DTL π1
The Slippers Library implements this.
Admin
Major admin overhaul π3
The current admin makes Django look old and dated. The admin needs to feel faster, look great, be fully accessible, and contain more advanced features (admin-wide search, keyboard shortcuts, audit log, etc)
Additional admin sections π0
There is a recent actions section in the admin, but it might be useful to add one with useful links, for example to the Django documentation, the community section of the Django website, the forum, or the Discord server. Sections may be dynamically deactivated.
Data visualisation in admin π1
The admin is great for managing and viewing data, but often people want to report on data, visualise their data. Itβd be really neat if dashboards/charts/etc could be added to the django admin.
Settings
Declarative βSettings Objectsβ π4
A better way to encapsulate related settings. See the EMAIL_ settings. Other examples include: various security headers, cookie settings, and Iβm sure there are more. A better approach would be some kind of settings object β maybe dataclass based, or similar to those in Pydantic or attrs or elsewhere.
Environment-defined Settings π1
A standard pattern for every setting in the settings file to have a) a type and b) a defined (programmatically named) environment variable to set it via.
Routing
Drop reverse() π0
Iβm not entirely sure how important it is these days, and it constrains some of the design of urls, though I suspect I use it a lot less than other people. I would suggest we replace it with a system where URLs of instances are defined on instances.
Method-Based URL Routing π4
An additional option in urlpatterns that allows routing by method as well as path if present (matching the first entry that satisfies everything, and allowed method defaulting to all if not provided for back compat)
APIs
Built-In API Framework π6 β2
Django is increasingly used just as an API server and FastAPI has proven the desire for a framework that has API views and ORMs out of the box (and I think Django is easier to write APIs in even still). We should adopt proper API views in the FastAPI/Ninja style.
Faster API responses π0
JSON serialisation speed in processing a request is quite slow. See Web frameworks benchmark.
Other core features
Pluggable Email API π2
send_email is a little outdated in its assumption you have a plain old SMTP server or sendmail; we should add first-class support for easily configuring a bunch of mainstream email providers.
GeoDjango light mode π1
I propose to provide a GeoDjango light mode, for the sole storage or querying of spatial data, without the need to install GDAL.
Common Table Expression (CTE) support π6 β1
See fairly old Django ticket. Optional additional info here.
Background queue/task/worker abstraction π3
Something that fills the gap of βI want a system to run background tasksβ in the same sense that Celery does, but a little higher of an abstraction. Could also instead be just a nice abstract interface to various queue backends.
