This isn't an issue, but a discussion. If there's a better place to do this, let me know.

I'm hoping to add the tablib.ext (or tablibext) namespace to Tablib soon, where new modules (tablib-modname) can install themselves and extend the functionality of Tablib.

Since you are the only extension at this time, I'd like to get your feedback on a few things.

  1. Would you move your module to the new namespace?

    Here's what I had in mind;

    from tablibext.django import ModelDataset
    from tablibext.django.admin import TablibAdmin
    
  2. Are there any features that you think would be useful?

    I plan on adding a way for extensions to add new available formats to Dataset, as well as new methods. Are there other features/abilities that you would find useful?

I really appreciate the feedback.

This sounds like a pretty good plan to me. Makes a lot of sense for django-tablib to be an extension of tablib rather than a separate project depending (pretty much entirely) on it.

I can't think of any other new features off the top of my head, but I'll put some thought into it.
