I have been looking around for a way of managing user-configurable
application settings, and the only solution I have found is dbsettings,
which looks like it hasn't been touched in 3 years.
So, I would like to know: is dbsettings dead? Or is there a different
generally accepted method for having user-friendly app settings? (e.g. don't
require code modification)

I think that this idea is pretty essential to django's ease of use; there
are many applications which have (or should have) settings which only effect
UI or minor behavioral issues, and shouldn't require a server restart to
effect (and imo shouldn't require server write access). It seems that the
most viable solution would be to have a database managed settings system (in
the form of a .contrib module) which would manage this. It also seems that
having such an infrastructure in place would really encourage app
maintainers to have more settings, thereby making the apps even more
portable.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jared
