[drupal-devel] settings inconsistencies

[Bèr Kessels]

Hi, 

Thanks for the feedback.

Good to hear.

I had that in my original plan. But decided to move it to the adminster 
section. Why?
* Sysadmins are in most cases the user admins too. thoise few large sistes 
that have different roles for site- and user admin can move the menus 
themselves.

But lets say this is open for discussion still, Anyone any ideas on this?

> * I concur with the Moderate-> to something better
>     "Content Management"?
All the other blocks and items are verbs. The reason is that you can read the 
task aloud:
Administer > layout = "adminster layout"
Moderate > content = moderate content. etc. 
Content management is not a verb. I would like to keep them all verbs. For 
consistancy.

> * I'm not sure about the logs being in the Navigation menu
Me too. But I could not find a better place.

Adminstration is a worst place, IMHO. We do *not* administer the logs, we 
browse, investigate or view them, but never adminster tyhm. 

Still open for suggestions here, anyone any good ideas on this?
