I had been using Pagemash, which is a good plugin, but not very scalable beyond twenty or thirty pages, in terms of how it manages content. Thanks for the great writeup.

For a start, what is a book? And then to access some of the functionality when viewing a node you have to click "outline". (Huh?!) That page has some not-very-helpful text, and fails to give a link to the admin screen that lets you re-order the specific book you are in (if you are in a book). Using weight to change the position of the page you are interested in is kind of tricky without knowing the weights of the other pages. Have a look at at the "outline" tab on any node when book.module is enabled and you will see what I mean. For want of somewhere better to leave this, book administration could do with some love.

Assuming this happens it will show up in the issue queue fairly shortly. We'll post links to the issue queue in the Microprojects post.

It could obviously fit in on the menu editing interface, block management, node management, and possibly other things even like permissions & taxonomy. Is there any thread here on or Drupal.org specifically for this? I'd really like to discuss how to make this a reality, even if it turns into something outside of the timeline for D7, I'd like to put this to module code to really make things easy for personal and client drupal projects.

However, I don't necessarily think it's for everyone. In fact, there's some very powerful features that are just too exposed for many people. Don't get me wrong, I love it's power and ease-of-use -- but I think some people really need an easy, intuitive "page" to go to, that helps them figure out what they're trying to do -- and helps them get to the right area quickly and easily. I really the "strix" theme mentioned in this comment thread. It's simple, and works with Drupal currently. I love AdminMenu, and use it on all my Drupal sites.

Another thing: I find it very hard to find anything in the list. I wish I could use Ctrl+F to find the module by name, but every name repeats dozens of times in various "required by" or "requires lists". I wish these were collapsed by default, or mass-collapsible. +1 especially on highlighting new modules.
