This is a proposal for a new Administration UI
having vertical tabs for
grouping instead of the current select input.
Proposal:

Looks nice but I have 2 comments for the moment:
- Almost everything in XWiki is an application and the plan is to move
even more
in this direction. Actually any app will be more and more able to
contribute config in any area (e.g. look & feel). Hence I don't think we
should have a category named "applications". The Administration Object
should instead have a category property that the author can choose.
Same for me, an application should be able to provide its
category/subcategory/etc.
I would say same BUT "Applications" as a top level category makes sense.
What category would you put Meeting Manager under otherwise ? same for
Polls, Expense reports, etc.
You'd need a bit of imagination Jerome! :)
Meeting Manager --> category = "Organisation", "People",
"Scheduling". It would be the same category as apps like the Calendar app and
maybe the Scheduler app too.
Expense Report --> category = "Human Resources"
Polls --> category = "Reporting". Maybe in the same category as the Stats
app.
In any case since everything is an app you need categories and not just
"Applications" which doesn't mean much at all since you'd need to
justify why some apps have their own special categories and why others go in the one named
"stuff", err.... "Applications"... ;)
Thanks
