Agree

Submissions would probably go in the tools Section.

I figured I would add a new plugin api that checks with the plugin and adds
it to whatever group it wants. At one point I thought of allowing plugins to
add their own group if they want but I am not sure if that is needed.

So we have the 3 groups

Tools - Db backups, Clear cache, Log Viewer, GL Version Test, Configuration,
Documentation, SPAM-X Plugin
Users - Groups, Users, Mail Users
Plugins - All ungrouped plugins

Should we have a Core group? (or some other name) I would see the core
functionality of Geeklog (that do not fit anywhere else) in this group:

Core - Blocks, Content Syndication, Plugins, Stories, Topics, Submissions
(here or in Tools???), Trackbacks

So you'd like to separate the two? Admin Home -> icons only; Submissions ->
submission queues only?

I guess that makes sense. Would Admin Home always be the first link then
(like Submissions is now), and Submissions would be listed after
"Stories"[1]?


> I may also organize the icons a bit better so it is easier to spot things.

Right now, the icons are in the same order as the entries in the admin block
(or at least they should be). Grouping them would be another option (neither
option sounds "wrong" to me). I guess there's no way to add a 3rd party
plugin to one such group?


Btw, with all these changes (also in the themes), the next version should
probably be called 2.1.0 instead of 2.0.1.
