Description

Title says it all, really. The idea is to add an optional (probably enabled by default?) sidebar for navigation, doing roughly what the current homepage does. For now, it'll be a simple implementation only for large screens, and hopefully it can be iterated on in the future.

I opened a discussion here, only got one response but it was positive and I think it's not too controversial if it's behind a flag: ​https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/PAZw8chsp2g

To control its display, I'd think an admin site attribute would be preferred to a setting. Generally, settings are only added as a last resort.

Thanks. I've fixed that, now I'm just having a problem figuring out the test failure.

Patch needs improvement: set

I posted to the mailing list thread to see if we can find a Design/UX/CSS expert to input on the PR.

If not, I think we should proceed. It's a improvement, and we can iterate on it over time.

There's one CSS issue that we should resolve (at least) commented on the PR.
