Simple admin aid module idea: Centrally set content type revision defaults
As for most of our sites we want to turn revisions on for all content types, a module (or D7 core patch) to do this from somewhere with a single switch (or checkboxes for all content types in one place) would be nice.
Questions:
* Is there already a module that does this, hiding from my searches?
* Should other per-content-type workflow settings also be centralized?
* Where should centralized settings like this live in the administration menu?
Installing Drush on Ubuntu
So, you probably have heard of drush, and maybe you have not tried it yet. I tried it quite a while ago, and found it to be somewhat of a hassle. But I yesterday I decided to give it another go, and see all the buzz everyone's talking about.
New SEO Friend Module
My new SEO Friend modules is available at:
http://drupal.org/project/seo_friend
The module is meant to be used with other Drupal SEO modules, particularly (for now) nodewords, nodewords_bypath, page_title, and pathauto.
I would love feedback and suggestions for new features.
Thanks,

Access Control for Administrative Tasks/Areas
Something I have had issues with on multiple sites I have worked on is administrative areas and permissions.
Example:
If I build a site for a client and then decide I want the client to be able to edit certain areas of the admin panel ("/admin/settings/site-information") but I don't want them to have full access to the administration area then there really isn't a good solution.
So, I ask... What exactly can be done about the issue? What would be some of the best work arounds?

Getting a better menu interface into core
There is a discussion at http://groups.drupal.org/node/19171 regarding revamping the administrative menu. It seems to me that the issue of the improving the menu INTERFACE is different than the issue of STRUCTURE. Here, I'd like to see if we can gather the discussion of practical alternative menu interfaces for core. As I mentioned in the aforementioned thread, please let me know if I'm duplicating efforts here.
Administrative theme
I've been working over in the theme candidate for core7 area for a while focusing on a 960 based core theme and subtheme starter kit. In addition to this I've ported over an admin theme from d5 we've used internally for a while now to d6/960 grid. I would love to get feedback from the UX team on what is good/bad about it, and where it might be improved. Ultimately I'd like to see if we can get this into core as an administrative theme. Let me know what you all think, and how I can improve this.

DRAIP - an old idea renewed
DRAIP: Drupal Remote Administration Interface Protocol
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, err drape, err draip!"
--- with appologies to L. Frank Baum :)
Administration theme location
Why are the "Administration Theme" settings are located in "Administer -> Site Configuration" area, rather than with all of the other theme settings in "Administer -> Site Building -> Themes".
The only unique configuration option that is in the "Administration Theme" menu is the "Use admin. theme for content editing" checkbox -- and this could simply be moved to the bottom of the list of themes in the "Administer -> Site Building -> Themes" menu. It seems unnecessary for this single option to have it's own section in the administration menu.
