I read the tickets. Many are outdated and the approach in the trac ticket below I believe it's not very well defined. About putting app names on the INSTALLED_APPS, I don't think it would be good for packaging. That's why I believe it should be somewhere on the app itself. About using admin.py for registering the app, I think it would only scope the information to the admin site.
What I want to accomplish is some way to store app metadata for the use where it's needed and be able to translate it to multiple languages. Maybe on the future it exist a template tag so it could be used on the frontend as well without passing it through every view. Maybe we should create another module called "app.py" instead of using the "__init__.py" file. On the other hand I believe we shouldn't modify yet the way the apps are loaded. Mainly because now there is an AppCache but it's tightly coupled in the db package ( https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/db/models/loading.py) and I don't think it's being used above that scope. It would be a hassle. I think we need a starting point, that's why a simple class with the information, that could be instantiated when needed, should be the best approach. Maybe later we could extend the app registry idea by extending the same class, decoupling the AppCache from the db module and rewriting the way models are loaded into the new app registry. That way for example in the case of the models in subpackages, we could load them from the app config class instead of using the app_label approach. I will put a link to this discussion in the trac ticket seeking for more opinions.
