FAQ
===

Some questions, some answers.

Why should I use |grappelli|?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you are pleased with how the original Admin-Interface looks, you shouldn't.

I need help!
^^^^^^^^^^^^

see :ref:`Troubleshooting <troubleshooting>`.

Which Browser do I need with Grappelli?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We are testing with Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

Why is there no mercurial– or git–repository?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We have discussed this issue on the `Grappelli Google-Group <http://groups.google.com/group/django-grappelli>`_. Since the outcome has been ambiguous, we stay with svn for now.

Can I use another editor than TinyMCE?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Of course.

Why don't you support Admin-Tools?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

`Django Admin Tools <http://packages.python.org/django-admin-tools/>`_ is an awesome app, but it's just too much effort for us.

Do you guys cooperate with the Django–Devs?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Occasionally, we discuss features and implementations.
