Django Control Room

Django Control Room is a plugin framework for Django admin tools ("panels") and a suite of official panels for Redis, Celery, caches, URLs, Signals, and more. Panels are independent packages built on dj-control-room-base. The hub discovers them via entry points and renders them in one dashboard with shared CSS, permissions, and admin sidebar integration.
