I need to know the topic of my thesis mid-march at the latest, but I 
hope to have at least a general concept in the end of february. At the 
moment I do not have much time anyway, because I'm in Sydney doing an 
internship and going to start traveling a bit in three weeks.

Yes, although it is shipped with Django itself, and not as a separate 
app (unlike other really useful things like migrations). I actually 
prefer having it completely separated.
As for the form building: Are you investigating that at the moment? Or 
is that just planned "sometime in the future"?

Thanks a lot! Just let me know if you have something that could be 
useful for you ... and I'll see with what I come up with in the meantime ;)
