in the german board-section are some ideas for a rearrangement of the menu in the admin-area.
Because for developing the international / english - section would be better, I try to translate this:
main idea: cutting the "entries"-top-item, because
1. many things there are not about "entries" in the meaning used in s9y. There are many enhancements that are more than just blog-entries.
2. these top-item is to complex for new-users
3. the list of sub-items is too long for usibility-reasons:
so, the idea:
new name: "Edit Content" and new top-item for organize things:
Backup InterfaceEdit Content
New Entry
Edit Entries
Static Pages
Manage Links
Polls
My Calendar
Organize Content
Manage Comments
Manage Categories
Manage Tags
Template-Blocks
Assign Category
QuickNotes
Statistics
Backup Interface
I would put Backup Interface into the admin-section.
top-item: Appearance
ok, nothing is more about Appearance than the templates But the plugins are ... hm ... the sidebar plugins are about design, well. But the event-plugins are about technical enhancements.
by the way: Does any not-techie know what an event-plugin is?
First of all, what is about "Design & Enhancements"?
And then, is it possible to cut the event-page? one for the enhancements called "plugins" and one "Widgets" or so?
