>>>>> folders.
>>>>> * Image reodering between collections - lightbox allows for

>>>>> will allow images to be moved in and out of collections also.
>>>>> UC Berkeley will likely implement this unless it's done as part

>>>>> * Page orderer - where pages includes multiple tools (home

>>>>> the tools on the page.
>>>>> * Wiki - Thoughts about where the reorder could be used here?
>>>>> * Syllabus Tool - Allow users to reorder sections /
>>>>> components of their syllabus.

>>>>> Other ideas:

>>>>> * Quick task - change (not remove!) the location / display
>>>>> of the Wiki breadcrumbs?
>>>>> * Announcements / Resources - they duplicate some
>>>>> functionality but display and terminology is different - could
>>>>> these be resolved? Are there points where this should also be
>>>>> the case for Schedule?
>>>>> * Schedule - there must be lots that could be done on this!
>>>>> How about inventing "all day events" with a neat way for them
>>>>> to be displayed?
>>>>> * Tools menu - a user of another similar system said that
>>>>> on his small-screen laptop, he really appreciated being able to
>>>>> 'fold up' the tools menu, so that (from his description) the
>>>>> tool names hid but the tool icons remained. How about something
>>>>> similar for Sakai?
>>>>> * Site Info - is the arrangement of the links in the
>>>>> actions bar of the Site Info tool logical? e.g. some are
>>>>> frequently used, others rarely (perhaps?) Should people
>>>>> consider re-arranging the tools in the actions bar?
>>>>> * Site Info - consider whether the information shown to
>>>>> students in Site Info is as logical as it should be - for
>>>>> example, don't they see the info from the home page displayed
>>>>> again under Site Info?
>>>>> * Permissions - could some minor changes be made to the

>>>>> the order in which permissions display be useful? Would it be
>>>>> clearer if the rows and columns were swapped? Could some visual

>>>>> permissions (e.g. shading going from dark to light to indicate
>>>>> how powerful a particular permission is)? Could a 'return to
>>>>> default settings' button be implemented? Could permission
>>>>> recipes be implemented? (e.g. click a button to set typical
>>>>> teaching site permissions)? These may be beyond the scope of
>>>>> the project, though!
>>>>> * Dull but useful - checking for consistency of styling in
>>>>> the HTML, especially in the actions bar, where some links have
>>>>> "|" between them and others don't, some have around the current
>>>>> link and others don't, especially.
>>>>> * Schedule - I don't suppose it would be possible to make

>>>>> and the "add event" will be triggered? But perhaps a minor
>>>>> improvement might be that if you look at a day, and then click
>>>>> the 'add' button, it should assume that you want to add the
>>>>> event to that day.
>>>>> * Admin Sites tool - could some improvements be made to
