Talk proposals show up as "TalkProposal object" in admin

[felixc]

In the Admin section for managing talk proposals, everything shows up as "TalkProposal object". It would be more useful for the model's string representation to be something like "Author Name: Title Of This Talk".

Yup. This is the symposion default. This is already on the list to be fixed by the contractor for the PyCon USA branch. That might not be in time for us though.

This should be a super easy fix -- just override unicode in TalkProposal model object!

I'll see if I can get to it tonight.

Apparently, it's not that easy. I thought so at first too...

When I suggested the same thing a month ago, I was told:

"""
You could not have fixed the old admin due to the way that Pinax manages things. It does not behave like a normal django site/application, and making admin changes would end up breaking the system in most cases as almost all objects are tied to other objects and need to be edited in concert. Why I gave up long ago.

Sorry about that last pull request, I totally thought I was working on my own fork. Turns out you guys gave me commit privileges to the repo and I didn't even notice. Bad idea :)

Anyhow, can someone check out a4bacf4 ? Diana, I totally believe what your source was saying, but I checked this out locally in shell as well as in local admin and it seemed to be just fine.

Argh, specifically a4bacf4#L0R133 -- sorry, my editor obliterates trailing whitespace, and it seems there was a lot of that in the files I edited :)
