[fleeting thought] In a recent screenshot, I suggested an approach to illustrating the location of regions on the block admin page, see: http://drupal.org/files/issues/regions_highlighted.png But maybe we could display the block config listings in these highlighted places instead. All that we currently do on the block admin overview page is: * enable * set region * set weight * link to configuration If we moved to an AJAX approach like that suggested, regioning and weight would be easy and intiutive--just drag the selectable block from region to region, or reorder within a region. (We'd need behind the scenes code to automatically set the weight based on block order in a particular region.) Sans AJAX, we would need it to gracefully degrade. Degraded, it might look like (caution, more ascii art coming): ------------------------- | Left Sidebar Region | | | | Navigation | | _ | | |_| Enabled | | _ | | |_| Weight | | ___________ | | Move to |_________|_| | [select box with other available regions] | | | Configure | | | | Syndicate | | _ | | |_| Enabled | | _ | | |_| Weight | | ___________ | | Move to |_________|_| | [select box with other available regions] | | | Configure | |_________________________| If multiple themes were enabled, we would need to provide a link to bring up this interface in each of the themes.

i would love to see some -degrating- ajax like this [1] for block placements.
