[development] The new menu system -- where we are, what works and what's not

[Jeremy Epstein]

Great work, Karoly!

Can you please provide us with the URLs of the issues for stage 2 of
the new menu system? The sooner we can get the rest of the patches
committed for this, the better.

Cheers,
Jaza.
