The admin menu is opaque and not well-organized. Some thoughts:

Conceptually, there are three different kinds of items under the 'PressForward' admin menu:

  1. Curation tools: All Content, Nominated. These are the editorial workflow tools used every day by PF projects.
  2. Feed tools: Add Feeds, Subscribed Feeds, Folders.
  3. Settings/Preferences: Preferences, Tools, View Log

I think there's an argument for breaking some of these items out. Feeds, in particular, have a way of cluttering up the works, since they represent a standalone content type, but aren't really labeled as such in the current admin menu scheme. So perhaps we could have something like this:
