Summary: Improve navigation and help for admin pages
Initial Comment:
I move the following post from the mailing list here:

navigational bar on all

directly to the most
 > important administrative pages.
 
 We could do some ad hoc improvements for the current 
release.  In the longer
 term, we should have toolbars and drop-down menus, 
more in the style of
 other
 standard applications, and we should have some new 
functions in Admin.mpl to
 support the creation of such widgets, rather than the 
current piecemeal
 approach.

 That is an excellent idea, which I had also thought of 
implementing.  There
 should again be some development of Admin.mpl to 
support it, but that should
 not be too much work.  Nonetheless, it will probably 
need to wait for the
 next release.
