I'm struggling at building a website with Django. On that website, I want to have a lot of information about TV shows. I want my user to be able to insert and modify information. The information needs to be moderated, a change should not be published before being accepted by a moderator.

I came across django-moderation as a solution to that aspect. My user will log into another instance of django-admin, with different user rights. I'm adding django-guardian to deal with per-object permissions.

I'm lost a bit lost now. I think I'll find how to interface all those things, and it will work in a few weeks after reading all the docs, making all the mistakes, etc... I am wondering thou if the architecture makes sense, if are software components I am missing out on.

Thank you for your consideration.

edit : BTW, working with django 1.7 on python 3.4

django-moderation looks interesting, I haven't used it. There's not a lot of activity in the project, but it's active. I think it will suit the use-case you have in mind. I considered django-guardian recently for a project and rejected it in favour of extending tastypie's authorizations. I think my use case was a bit different, I needed to maintain constraints on foreign key relationships that were hard to express with django-guardian. If you only intend to allow or reject read/write permissions and don't need to validate anything beyond rudimentary data points, it will do a good job (in that case, use Django's model validators).

In general: Django has a wide assortment of easily included apps. in general: if you can solve it with pip install, do so.
