Awesome!!

I would love to see the preferences system work with plugins
(one day...
you've got ot start somewhere).  The plugins will have to
configure
themselves somehow, and allowing them to easily add their
preferences
anywhere in the settings pages would be really nice.

I'd also like to see Typo move toward a more traditional
preferences
setup, maybe with a hierarchy of tabs.  The current 5 mile
long form is
a little daunting.


A tab hierarchy could be:

Top-level Tabs:
   Editing   Appearance  Users   Plugins    New Article  
New Page

Editing:
   Articles   Pages   Comments   Files   Categories   Text
Filters
   Blacklist

Appearance:
   Sidebar    Themes


Thoughts:

I would like New Article and New Page buttons to be on the
main page.
They don't have to be in the tab bar though...  Maybe put
them in the
upper right-hand corner?

Would Text Filters be considered Plugins?


Anyhow, it would be really nice if it were all modularized
so that
re-organizing the settings pages would be a simple job.

How nice to be talking beyond 4.0 for a change!
