(Whiteboard: u=dev c=codequality p=1 s=input.2014q2)

Grapelli <http://grappelliproject.com/> is an alternative django admin system. This bug covers researching whether it makes sense to switch to that.
Sticking this in 2014q2. If it is nicer and makes non-model-based admin pages easier, I want to switch to it.

Fixing the typo.
Summary: [research] look into switching to grapelli for the admin → [research] look into switching to grappelli for the admin
Spent 30 minutes with this just now. It looks good. It doesn't have its own non-model-based-pages thing (as far as I could tell--the docs are a bit opaque on the question of "what is a dashboard?") but it does work with adminplus, so I think this is worth doing. Why? I'm doing a bunch of stuff in the admin and it makes that interface a lot easier to use in a variety of ways. This will save me time and effort and it's pretty easy to do. Will put together a PR soon.

Also, this was the magic bit that got me over the "django-adminplus stuff doesn't show up in grappelli admin dashboard" hump: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18093271/django-adminplus-link-disappears-when-grappelli-is-enabled
