Add a framework for generic views This commit does not enable the new code, as such there should be no change in functionality. In order to use the new code the maps.py file should be updated to point at the new views/models/sponsor.py module. Patch by: Sverre Rabbelier Reviewed by: to-be-reviewed

21. Specifying 'choices' for a field

Most fields take a ``choices`` parameter, which should be a tuple of tuples
specifying which are the valid values for that field.

For each field that has ``choices``, a model instance gets a
``get_fieldname_display()`` method, where ``fieldname`` is the name of the
field. This method returns the "human-readable" value of the field.
