Amazing isn't it - took about 15 minutes! :)

Should all be quite quick... (no promises! ;)

I wasn't entirely happy with where i got on the "share" stuff. Needs extending to facebook, twitter g+ etc - needs an icons mode and to be combined with wikitopline so that can be put wherever you want (and the relevant things will work on non-wiki page objects).

The logo module is still tied to the prefs (sitelogo_src etc) so that module needs more params to make it a general "show an image with some links and optionally some text" module and a migration script to convert the prefs... (yuk!)

feature_site_report, feature_site_send_link etc should be KIL'ed (needs checking but it was migrated in 20110115_create_bottom_modules_tiki.php)

Modules should be filterable by category (shouldn't be hard)

Remove the "new feature" box, the {menu} tip box and probably the help drop-downs there...

Anything else? (coo, quite a lot then!)
