Extending Alyx

Alyx is super handy and it’s great that so many models are already in place!
I’m working to extend it to cover for needs of experiments with non-human primates, which will be basically creating some new tables and possibly extending a few existing ones.

My first approach is to create a new app (a new directory inside /alyx) similar to actions, misc, subjects… in a way to make it modular and as separated as possible from the original code. However, to really integrate the changes requires manually modifying some central project files, such as urls.py, settings.py and base.py.

My question is: is there any plan or interest in making a plug-and-play scheme for new models to be integrated, as per lab-needs? Am I being naive thinking that this wouldn’t be so difficult to do?
