Dashboard application for Django

Dashboards become popular nowadays. A personal space within a web application where users can make their own personal "corner" in a way they want, makes them feel more at home.

For the past couple of months I have been working on a Django dashboard application. The intention was (being a perfectionist) to make a perfect dashboard app for Django.

As an outcome, `django-dash` (or just Dash) was "born. The name is taken from my favourite OS - Ubuntu.

Dash allows evey Django user to have his own dashboard filled with functions made available by the site administrator. Dash comes with multiple workspaces, multiple layouts, permissions system for plugins, public dashboards and a clean, pythonic API.

I value my time and I'm in favour of quick demos, which allow devs to quickly evaluate an app, instead of spending hours of finding out how it works.

The app is available on PyPI (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-dash/).

Feel free to experiment or fork, as it's GPL/LGPL licensed.

Instructions on installing the demo are here:

Your feedback is welcome and appreciated.
