Thanks go primarily to Greg Pierce for the major upgrade to the prefs interface, found in both the /members/ area and the /admin/ area of every site.

Imrpovements include:

  • Tab-panel interface, so that prefs are displayed in smaller, more focused groupings
  • Contextual help (help links next to almost every item in the preferences)

We know that this doesn't solve every problem with the admin interface, but we feel that it's a big step in the right direction.

The structure editor is due for an overhaul similar to the prefs interface, and we'll be introducing a number of new pages in the admin area that group the prefs from different plugins into logical categories, such as "security" (the old pages will remain, as they're generated automatically).

Let us know what you think!

Seth
