Massive changes to the admin panel in progress on trunk (future 3.0) during TikiFest Montreal

[Marc Laporte-3]

Hi!

Here at the Montreal TikiFest (http://tikiwiki.org/TikiFestMontreal),
we are working on massive changes to the admin interface.

Christine (http://www.neato.co.nz/) aka NefariousC on IRC aka
princessxine on SVN/SF has done an a-m-a-z-i-n-g job over the last few
weeks, which was committed today.

The old admin panel is untouched. Once all the settings have been
transfered and have been thoroughly tested, we'll be in a position to
delete it (the old admin panel). We will have made it obsolete!

If you update from trunk, you can check out: tiki-magic.php  It's a
data-driven (using data in db/features.csv), magical admin panel.

There is still a lot to do, but you will see that it does quite a lot.
It will be in very good shape by the end of the TikiFest on Tuesday.

In future versions, this will solve the problem about site settings
which need tiki_p_admin and administration features which require
tiki_p_admin_feature  It's database-driven so we will show users the
settings in WYSIWYCA (What You See Is What You Can Access).

With this new panel, it'll be easier/cleaner to add new features. It
will also be easy to add the settings in many (all relevant!) places.
A setting about categories and wiki will appear in both places.

Some background info:

After the Admin Panel Revamp, if we still have some time/energy, we'll
attack the edit UI aspects:
