Yesterday morning, Dries informed me of the following plans for 4.8: (quote) 2. A dashboard module to replace the current main administration page (?q=admin). 3. A reorganization of the administration pages.
David Reed and I have done some work (with Kieran) on 2 & 3, though of course there are many, many issues related to this endeavor, mostly in terms of target audience -- what is a good administration setup for new users is not necessarily a good set up for maintaining a site. So there's been talk of re-organizing the effort to include multiple administrative dashboards, each with different targets, but nothing has yet been done on that. (the project underway is administration.module)
