[geeklog-devel] Proposal about improving the admin section

[Wim Niemans]

Excellent move. Somehow I think that the admin interface should be a plugin or adhere to the plugin API?
And for clarity, would there be, besides the generic themes, a directory for admin and one for public in the layout?
Will geeklog allow for styling with bootstrap/uikit/others for the center-block only as opposed to the whole site?

thanks, dengen.
